The choice attribute value is selected from a set of predefined
values. The difference between this attribute and the multi choice
attribute is that this attribute must be set to exactly one of the
predefined values.
To change the value of a choice:
- Double-click the choice attribute or click the Edit icon.
- Select a new value and click
.
If a choice attribute is configured with the Propagate feature,
the choice values in the element tree propagate to their parent folders.
This means that if all of the elements in a folder have the same choice
value, the folder gets that value also. If the elements in a folder
have different values, the first item in the choice list that at least
one of the elements has is selected.
If a choice attribute is
configured with the Cascade feature, the choice items can be organized
in a tree structure. If there are many choice items, organizing them
in a tree structure makes it easier to find an item. When a cascading
choice attribute is edited, the different levels in the tree structure
are organized in different drop-down choices.
Note: You can let a choice
attribute determine the icons in the element tree.
