Detailed Description

A button for controlling property overrides which may apply to a widget.

QgsPropertyOverrideButton is designed to be used alongside the QGIS properties framework (QgsProperty, QgsPropertyDefinition and QgsPropertyCollection).

It allows users to specify field or expression based overrides which should be applied to a property of an object. Eg, this widget is used for controlling data defined overrides in symbology, labeling and layouts.
