I know I can use `Model.Value<string>("alias", fallback: Fallback.ToAncestors)` but is there a straightforward way to call ModelsBuilder properties with a fallback parameter?   I could change the generated class, but I'm hoping if there's a more permanent option.  Incidentally I tried using `Model.ValueFor(x => x.Alias, fallback: Fallback.ToAncestors)` as per [the docs](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/design/rendering-content), which would be fine, but it throws an error (when falling back to an ancestor): *NotSupportedException: Fallback PublishedValueFallback does not support fallback code '3' at element level.*

I worked around this by making a custom 'ModelsBuilder-like' class with with the fallback-enabled call in the prop getters, e.g. `public virtual decimal BaseFontSize => this.Value<decimal>(_publishedValueFallback, "baseFontSize", fallback: Fallback.ToAncestors);`

<@908386412058001469> the valuefor doesnt work for elements types, it is why compositions shouldn't be elements types 😉 you can workaround it by making custom extensions which I dont recommend 🙂
