Attribute Creation/Import

This plugin allows you to massively create attributes (UDAs) through a simplified interface. It also allows you to enable certain extensions for these attributes.

The extensions that can be enabled through this interface are as follows:

  • History
  • I/O
  • State Alarm (only for Boolean attributes)

This plugin is accessible for Template or Instance objects via the IDE context menu.
