Attribute node

​

Description​

The Attribute node represents the value of a specific attribute on a queried item, e.g. the Team Name attribute of a Teams item

The attribute can be on:

  • the design/interface being queried, e.g. the Teams design

  • a design/interface reachable from the one being queried (via one or more Link attributes),
    e.g. the Teams design → its Members attribute → the Team Members design

It's similar to a Value from item attribute node but has a narrower scope.

See comparison
