This question seems like it's been answered satisfactorily on StackOverflow by now, but just for the record I will ask it here because it was surprisingly difficult to find a good answer.


What does it mean when Chrome Dev Tools shows a computed property greyed out?


Please note, not the Styles panel (I know what greyed-out means in that context—not applied), but the next panel over, the Computed properties panel.


What does it mean when a Computed property is shown greyed out?


Example:


It appears that this happens to only to properties which are calculated, not inherited, and have no defaults. Is that correct?

Jonathan, can you add a section to the documentation, about the Computed drawer?

Thank you!

Yea, I am going to take a peek at this tomorrow. It already had my attention from the SO post. I thought we had it, but upon checking we either never did or it got lost at some point.
