AttributeDefs

The fields an entity type carries: type, cardinality, and the reference list a value must come from.

📄️Define an attribute

Adds an attribute to an entity type. The data type decides how values are standardized, validated and compared when matching — a phone is normalised differently from a name, and an address is held as separate parts rather than one string. An attribute may hold several values, each labelled with how it is used. Requires `attribute-def.create`.

📄️List attribute definitions

Returns the attributes defined for an entity type, in display order. Requires `attribute-def.read`.

📄️Get an attribute definition

Returns one attribute definition, including its data type and any reference list it draws from. Requires `attribute-def.read`.

📄️Update an attribute definition

Changes an attribute's display settings or constraints. Requires `attribute-def.update`.

📄️Delete an attribute definition

Soft-deletes an attribute definition. Values already stored are retained. Requires `attribute-def.delete`.
