Attribute Attributes

Attribute	Remarks	See also
Alias	String Notes: Read/Write Contains the (optional) 'Alias' property for this attribute. This can be used interchangeably with the Style attribute.
AllowDuplicates	Boolean Notes: Read/Write Indicates if duplicates are allowed in the collection. If the attribute represents a database column this, when set, represents the 'Not Null' option.
AttributeGUID	String 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.
Containment	String Notes: Read/Write The type of containment - Not Specified, By Reference or By Value.
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 Indicates if the current feature is a collection or not. If the attribute represents a database column this, when set, represents a Foreign Key.
IsConst	Boolean Notes: Read/Write A flag indicating if the attribute is Const or not.
IsDerived	Boolean Notes: Read/Write Indicates if the attribute is derived (that is, a calculated value).
IsID	Boolean Notes: Read/Write Indicates if the attribute uniquely identifies an instance of the containing Class, or not.
IsOrdered	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	String Notes: Read/Write The attribute length, where applicable.
LowerBound	String Notes: Read/Write A value for the collection lower boundary.
Name	String Notes: Read/Write The attribute name.
Notes	String Notes: Read/Write Further notes on this attribute.
ObjectType	ObjectType Notes: Read only Distinguishes objects referenced through a Dispatch interface.	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.
RedefinedProperty	String Notes: Read/Write Corresponds to the 'Redefined Property' field on the 'Detail' page of the attribute 'Properties' dialog, or the UML redefinedProperty attribute. Contains a comma separated list of GUIDs.
Scale	String Notes: Read/Write The scale value.
Stereotype	String Notes: Read/Write Sets or gets the stereotype for this attribute. When setting this attribute, LastError (for the GetLastError method) will be non-empty if an error occurs.
StereotypeEx	String Notes: Read/Write Provides all the applied stereotypes of the attribute, in a comma-separated list. Reading the value will provide the stereotype name only; assigning the value accepts either fully-qualified or simple names. When setting this attribute, LastError (for the GetLastError method) will be non-empty if an error occurs.
Style	String Notes: Read/Write Contains the (optional) Alias property for this attribute. This can be used interchangeably with the Alias attribute.
StyleEx	String Notes: Read/Write Advanced style settings, reserved for the use of Sparx Systems.
SubsettedProperty	String Notes: Read/Write Corresponds to the 'Subsetted Property' field on the 'Detail' page of the attribute 'Properties' dialog, or the UML subsettedProperty attribute. Contains a comma separated list of GUIDs.
TaggedValues	Collection of type AttributeTag Notes: Read only A collection of AttributeTag objects, used to access and manage Tagged Values associated with this attribute.	AttributeTag Class Collection Class
TaggedValuesEx	Collection of type TaggedValue Notes: Read only A collection of TaggedValue objects belonging to the current attribute and the TaggedValuesEx property of its classifier.	TaggedValue Class Collection Class
Type	String Notes: Read/Write The attribute type (by name; also see ClassifierID).
TypeInfoProperties	Notes: Read only Returns an interface pointer of TypeInfoProperties.	TypeInfoProperties Class
UpperBound	String Notes: Read/Write A value for the collection upper boundary.
Visibility	String Notes: Read/Write Identifies the scope of the attribute - Private, Protected, Public or Package.
