title: parent properties for application-{profile}.properties with Spring-Boot app
body: <p>There are common properties which are shared among different profiles for e.g. path location for temp files and path remains same among different env(tst,prd).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to have a parent application-{parent}.properties from which all the profile specific properties files can inherit the properties.</p>
  
  <p>That will help in avoiding writing same properties in all application-{profile}.properties</p>
  
  <p>In addition, each <code>application-{profile}.properties</code> have something like :</p>
  
  <pre><code>profileLocation=xxx
  abc=${profileLocation}/tempPath
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here can I move abc to a common location? I cannot in <code>application.properties</code> as it gets loaded before application-{profile}.properties</p>
