Type​

AttributeDescription object​

Attribute description schema defining the structure and metadata for attributes.

Serves as a template that defines how attributes should be structured and displayed. Contains type information, the entity type, localization settings, and default values that govern attribute behavior across the system.

An attribute description is the definition/blueprint of an attribute, specifying what entity it applies to (product, company, etc.), what data type it is (text, int, etc.), localized descriptions, and default values. The actual attributes are just the specific values assigned to objects using this description as their template. You must first define the attribute description, then use it to assign values to specific objects.
