Adding an Attribute to an Existing MetaModel

If a MetaModel already exists and you want to add another attribute for output in the template, the following points must be observed:

Checklist:

▢ Go to the corresponding MetaModel and create the attribute (type, column name, name, label, etc.)

▢ In render settings, open the attribute list for the frontend output e.g. “FE List” via the icon and add the attribute e.g. using “Add all” — check that it is set to visible

▢ In input masks, select the appropriate mask and open the attribute list via the icon and add the attribute e.g. using “Add all” — check that it is set to visible

▢ Fill in the new attribute in an existing or new record…

▢ Use the debug output to check if the attribute is arriving in the template and adjust the template as needed

Additional settings:

▢ If the attribute should also appear in the backend list view, add the attribute in the render settings for backend output e.g. “BE List” (see above)

▢ Configure settings such as image preview, template, CSS in render setting > attribute

▢ Configure settings such as required field, TinyMCE, searchable/filterable in input mask > attribute
