Thank you! I will try this and report back. I thought I read somewhere that there were some limitations with inheritance so I didn’t think to try that approach. (I probably confused it with [this](https://community.temporal.io/t/activity-inheritance/2329))

This would be a very nice solution if we can get it to work!
