Properties
All objects, links, and flows can have properties. Property is any text information, specified for the entity, in the name-value format.
Properties allow to add descriptions and other useful information to objects.
| Properties can have an empty value. |
Setting properties up
To add a new property or change an existing one, it is necessary to click the button (Edit) at the top right corner of the section.
When you try to delete a property or edit its name, the system checks whether other properties or fields depend on its name or value. If such dependency is found, the system will prevent you from deleting a property or editing its name and display an error Consistency error: Property is used as a variable in one or more entities.
