Defining Custom Properties for Enumeration Entries
This section describes how to create, update, and delete custom properties for enumeration entries. This functionality allows administrators to create additional properties for enumeration entries so more information can be stored on each entry. For examples, see Examples of Potential Custom Properties.
* 
To maximize system performance, do not exceed 10 custom properties.
When you add a custom property to the enumeration entry property holder, the custom property is visible on all enumeration entries for all enumeration definitions, whether it is applicable to the enumeration definition or not. You can ignore any properties that are not relevant on a given enumeration.
To create a custom property for an enumeration entry, you must perform the following steps:
1. Create an XML file to specify the new custom properties that are needed. For the code, see Creating or Updating Custom Property Definitions.
2. Save the XML file on the server.
3. Load the file using the wt.load.LoadFromFile command. See Creating, Updating, or Deleting a Property Using a Load File.
