Nested properties

Property	Description	Values	Mandatory

`name`	Name of the asset, used as the default EN translation.	string	Yes
`acceptableCodetableValues`	Key of the codetable with a predefined list of values allowed for selection for this attribute.	string	No
`defaultValue`	Text string shown as the attribute type’s default value.	string	No
`description`	Description of the property.	string	No
`htmlTemplate`	Text string that automatically populates the attribute field upon entering edit mode. Supports HTML formatting. Useful for text templates.	string	No
`features`	Array of attribute features such as time, URL, etc.	array	No
`notifications`	Array of package notifications. There’s no need to include an attribute key, as it is set automatically.	array	No
`placeholder`	Placeholder text used when the attribute type’s value is empty. For attributes with the is_html feature, the placeholder text is displayed exactly as entered., For all other features, the input string is treated as a translation key and must be defined in translations.	string	No
`search`	Array of search objects. There’s no need to include an attribute key, as it is set automatically.	array	No
`state`	Current status of the asset. Supported options are: `active` (asset is active and visible in the environment), `inactive` (asset is inactive and hidden, serves as a soft delete), `hidden` (asset is active but hidden in the environment).	string	No
`translations`	Array of translation keys and their definitions that determine how the text is displayed in the UI for the specific asset. For more information, see Translations.	array	No

Attributes predefined in Core

Dawiso’s core package defines some of the most commonly used attribute types. Here’s the list of keys of predefines attributes that can be used in other packages.

Make sure to use the following format: core#attributeKey.

Attributes type that configure object behavior only need to be added to the object type’s supported attribute types, e.g.:

{
    "key": "object_type_key",
    "attributeTypes": [
        {
            "key": "core#is_read_only"
        }
    ],
    ...
}

- Adding the is_read_only attribute type to the object will lock the whole object.
