Modifying the attributes of an object
This task describes how to add (or delete) attributes associated with a Contenta object.
Before you begin
About this task
Properties for a selected object in Contenta are fixed; that is, you select a property from a pre-defined list and you specify a value for that property. In contrast, attributes let you specify your own metadata for a selected object.
Properties belong to an object. Attributes can be inherited from a a parent container. Inherited attributes could be overwritten by local attributes. For example, if a parent container has an attribute "font = Arial", a child object can overwrite it by creating a local attribute "font=Times New Roman"
- do not have to be the same for objects of the same class
