A metadata attribute is a description attribute that can be applied to the link between two objects. A link is, for example, a product to product reference or attribute(s) linked to the product(s). Metadata attributes hold information specific to a link between two nodes.
The following are metadata attribute examples:
Yes: Must have a value for the specified attribute linked to the product
No: Not Mandatory, may have the value for the specific attribute linked to the product.
For more information about mandatory option, see the Product Information Manager Default Settings section of the System Setup / Super User Guide documentation here.
Once description attributes are created, they need to be linked to an object type, as follows.
Note: The dialog shows both description and specification attributes. A message is displayed when a specification attribute is selected. The 'Select' option will be disabled for the specification attribute.
