Dynamic Properties

For all types that support dynamic properties (for example, Component, Application, ...), users can define a default set of dynamic properties in their custom type definition XML within the DynamicProperties element.

The following information can be set for each default dynamic property (see: Editing Dynamic Properties for details):

• Value (Element)

  The default value of the dynamic property.

  Example: Database={dbname}. Can be empty.

  In case the type equals MultiChoice, you can separate the preselected choices with #;#.

• List (Element)

  In case the type equals MultiChoice or SingleChoice, you can define a list of choices the user can chose from.

• Description (Element)

  The description of the dynamic property as it will appear in the description panel of the property.

• name

  The full name (namespace + name) of the dynamic property.

  Example: /database/connections/connection_string.

• type

  The type of the dynamic property, see Types for details.

• protected

  If the property value should be protected and not be visible in the user interface.

• overrideIn

  If the property has to be overridden in another entity.

Note: The DynamicProperties specified in the type definition XML, behave like all other dynamic properties; users may change, delete, rename, or overwrite them.
