Modify Framework function – child theme

Hi all,

I have been using a premium theme and until now I have been able to edit various features by creating other templates and using a child theme to manipulate how the data is shown. I now want to customise some of the field inputs within the backend that the theme has set, this to make it easier to relate the the content,

To do this Im overriding a framework setting in the framework folder with the same file duplicated in the same relative path as my theme (ie child theme). However the changes do not appear to be overriding the parent theme’s framework . When I make the changes to the original file, everything works as expected.

Is there a way to have all files in the child theme override their counterparts in the parent theme?

Ideally I do not want to change the parent theme just incase of an update, I was hoping by modifying through the child them I would be able to save any changes that may occur during an update.

thanks
