I am practicing on using the super function and dataclass inheritance in general. I have enabled the kw_only attribute for cases when the parent class has default values. I completely understand that super doesn’t need to be used in a dataclass if you’re just passing variables and I can avoid using super here. My goal is to understand the super feature better through this example. I can’t understand the error message I’m getting though.

In the following code snippet the dataclass Derived is derived from dataclass Base. The Derived dataclass is setting new default values for field1 and field2.

I started using dataclasses recently and having some issues understanding how the inheritance works. I can’t understand the problem with too many variables being passed on. Am I using the super() method correctly here?
