5.5.3 Rules for custom attributes
• The name may not contain spaces or special characters. It may contain numbers, underscores,
and dashes.
• The value can contain special characters and spaces, and you may also leave it blank. Special
characters might require double quotes if the value will be executed, for example “echo hello
> temp.txt”.
• You may not use a custom attribute within a custom attribute value.
• You may not have duplicate custom attribute names for an individual OS Build Plan.
• Custom attributes are associated with servers, your facility, and OS Build Plans. If the same
custom attribute name is defined at multiple levels, conflicts are resolved by precedence.
Custom attribute precedence, highest to lowest
1. Servers
2. Facility
3. OS Build Plans
For example, if a custom attribute is defined for a server and defined for an OS Build Plan,
the custom attribute value defined for the server would be used.
NOTE: Custom attributes set at the OS Build Plan level are at the lowest precedence.
