Modify extended entity attribute details

You can modify the details of all extended entity attributes.

About this task

Notes:
  • The fields marked with * are mandatory.
  • When an entity attribute is created for the child node of an extensible object, it cannot be assigned to another extensible object in the Extensible Objects tree.
  • The extended entity attributes are linked to database columns of a specific datatype and so the entity attribute type cannot be modified. If you want to modify an entity attribute type, delete the entity attribute and create a new entity attribute of the same entity attribute type.
