opaque


Words consisting of an even number of hex digits.


EnumValues Field

When specified, this field limits the values of the attribute type to the specified values.

Default Value Field

Instance Restriction Options Menu

This option menu restricts the versions that may have instances of the attribute type. The choices are:

Any Version may have this Attribute


ClearCase -vpversion option.


One Version of a given Element may have this Attribute


ClearCase -vpelement option.


One Version of a given History may have this Attribute


ClearCase -vpbranch option.


Replace an existing type definition Check Box

When this check box is set, the new attribute type will replace an existing attribute type in the VOB with the same name. Otherwise, if an attribute type with the same name already exists in the VOB, an error is reported.
