ECCustomAttributes
Instances of ECCustomAttributeClasses that are applied to other items in a schema to add new metadata attributes. Any number of custom attributes may be applied to a schema item but only one instance of each class may be applied.
For example:
<ECProperty propertyName="LastMod" typeName="dateTime" displayLabel="Last Modified" description="The last modified time of the bis:Element.">
<ECCustomAttributes>
<DateTimeInfo xmlns="CoreCustomAttributes.1.0">
<DateTimeKind>Utc</DateTimeKind>
</DateTimeInfo>
<HiddenProperty xmlns="CoreCustomAttributes.1.0"/>
</ECCustomAttributes>
</ECProperty>
{
"name" : "LastMod",
"description" : "The last modified time of the bis:Element.",
"isReadOnly" : true,
"label" : "Last Modified",
"type" : "PrimitiveProperty",
"typeName" : "dateTime",
"customAttributes" : [
{
"DateTimeKind" : "Utc",
"className" : "CoreCustomAttributes.DateTimeInfo"
},
{
"className" : "CoreCustomAttributes.HiddenProperty"
}
]
},
The custom attribute concept allows any custom metadata to be applied because they are defined using a special type of ECClass, see ECCustomAttributeClass for more details
