You can use a mirror attribute to reflect the attribute
value of another element. This element can exist in the same module,
another module, or another workspace. You can mirror only one attribute.
After you add a mirror attribute, you cannot configure the source
attribute.
To use the mirror attribute, at least one link attribute
must exist in the module that contains the mirror attribute. In the
settings of that link attribute, an allowed target module must be
specified. If the link attribute targets more than one module and
the linked-in element is from a module that does not contain the mirror
attribute, the mirror attribute will be empty.
Note: You cannot edit
mirror attributes.

Source Attribute |
The attribute to mirror. You can select
only one attribute. Because the attribute reflects the linked attributes
that are in the workspace, the content of the source attribute differs
in each workspace. Source attributes are grouped by the link attributes
in the workspace. You can mirror the following attribute types: date,
float, integer, link, list link, and text. |
