As my reply to Andreas, a unique value per object can be done. 

Theres a couple ways to achieve this. 

1. A checkbox to accept the default, and then unclick it to override with its 
own detail level.

2. It follows the global detail level, and it you change it then it uses its 
own, but if you then change the global it follows that again. 

Would either of thoose work for you?
