Notes: Read only
A globally unique ID for the current attribute. This attribute is system generated.

AttributeID

Long
Notes: Read only
The local ID number of the attribute.

ClassifierID

Long
Notes: Read/Write
The classifier ID, if appropriate, indicating the base type associated with the attribute, if not a primitive type.

Constraints

Collection
Notes: Read only
A collection of AttributeConstraint objects, used to access and manage constraints associated with this attribute.
Collection Class

Container

String
Notes: Read/Write
The container type.

Default

String
Notes: Read/Write
The initial value assigned to this attribute.

FQStereotype

String
Notes: Read Only
The fully-qualified stereotype name in the format "Profile::Stereotype". One or more fully-qualified stereotype names can be assigned to StereotypeEx.

IsCollection

Boolean
Notes: Read/Write

IsConst

Boolean
Notes: Read/Write
A flag indicating if the attribute is Const or not.

Boolean
Notes: Read/Write
Indicates if a collection is ordered or not. If the attribute represents a database column this, when set, represents a Primary Key.

IsStatic

Boolean
Notes: Read/Write
Indicates if the current attribute is a static feature or not. If the attribute represents a database column this, when set, represents the 'Unique' option.

Length

Notes: Read/Write
The attribute length, where applicable.

String
Notes: Read/Write
A value for the collection lower boundary.

Name

String

Notes

String
Notes: Read/Write
Further notes on this attribute.

ObjectType

ParentID

Long
Notes: Read only
Returns the ElementID of the element that this attribute is a part of.

Pos

Long
Notes: Read/Write
The position of the attribute in the Class attribute list.

Precision

String
Notes: Read/Write
The precision value.
