Mirror settings

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.
Note: To configure a mirror attribute, the module should have a minimum of one link attribute with Allowed Target Modules configured.
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.

Setting Name Description
Value Source Attribute

Source Attribute is displayed when you configure a mirror attribute for the first time.

You can select the attribute to be mirrored. As 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.

Note: A link attribute that is configured to allow links to all other workspaces cannot be specified as the source attribute.
Value Current Source Attribute

Displays the current configuration of the mirror attribute. Appropriate message is displayed if the current configuration is invalid.

Note: Current Source Attribute is displayed when you re-configure a mirror attribute.
