Application custom attributes

This section describes how you can use custom attributes to associate additional information with applications.

You can create and manage your custom attribute definitions using a dedicated API resource (as shown below), or the Central Governance UI. The custom attribute definition fields are managed at the Central Governance level.

Create a custom attribute definition for an APPLICATION

This example sets the name of the new field to custom_attr1, the entity type to APPLICATION, and that the length of the value entered in this field cannot exceed 100 characters.

POST /api/v2/customattibutedefinitions {   "name": "custom_attr1",   "description": "My custom attribute",   "scope": "APPLICATION",   "tags": [     "tag1","tag2"   ],   "maxLength": 100 }
