Attribute

Base interface for all attribute types across different entity classes.

Attributes provide extensible metadata and properties for various entities in the system. Each attribute is associated with a specific entity type and contains typed values based on its attribute description schema.

interface Attribute {
  id: String!
  value: AttributeValue!
  createdAt: DateTime!
  lastModifiedAt: DateTime!
  createdBy: Int
  lastModifiedBy: Int
  attributeDescription: AttributeDescription
}
