Synchronized Attributes
Synchronized attributes are attributes that are automatically reproduced across certain types in a
synchronized type set.
The following synchronized type pairings support synchronized attributes:
• Product (com.lcs.wc.product.LCSProduct) and Colorway (com.lcs.wc.product.LCSSKU)
• Cost Sheet Product (com.lcs.wc.sourcing.LCSProductCostSheet) and Cost Sheet Colorway (com.lcs.wc.sourcing.LCSSKUCostSheet)
• Product Season Link (com.lcs.wc.season.LCSProductSeasonLink) and Colorway-Season Link (com.lcs.wc.season.LCSSKUSeasonLink)

A synchronized attribute is not reproduced across all types in the synchronized type set. It is only reproduced between the two types defined in the synchronized type pairing.

To make an attribute synchronized on one of the synchronized type pairings listed above, set the
Synchronized property during attribute creation. Select
Yes for the
Synchronized property on the
Set Properties step of the
New Attribute window when creating the attribute. When the
Synchronized property is set to
Yes, the new attribute is automatically created on both the primary and secondary types of the synchronized type pair. By default, the
Synchronized property is set to
No.
Once the synchronized attribute has been created, the synchronization cannot be removed. Instead, you must delete the synchronized attribute, and create a new, non-synchronized attribute.
When editing the properties of a synchronized attribute in the Type and Attribute Management utility, if a property value is changed, the change is automatically reflected in the attribute definition on the other type.
In the PTC FlexPLM client, the values of synchronized attributes are inheritable from the primary type (Product) to the secondary type (Colorway). The inherited value on the secondary type can also be overridden.
