Component properties

There are three types of component properties available: custom, environment, and version (another type, component, is defined by template and becomes part of any component that is created from the template). Property versions (changes) are maintained and remain available.

The three types can be defined on the component's Properties pane (Components > selected component > Properties). The three types are described in the following table.

Table 1. Component properties
Type	Description
Properties	Custom property; can be used in scripts and plug-ins. The properties that are inherited from templates cannot be modified on the component level. Referenced: `${p:component/propertyName}`.
Environment	Available to environments that use the component. The property appears on the environment's Component Mappings pane (Applications > `selected application` > Environments > `selected environment` > Component Mappings), see Application environments. Each property must have a type: `Text` Enables users to enter text characters. `Text Area` Enables users to enter an arbitrary amount of text, limited to 4064 characters. `Check Box` Displays a check box. If checked, a value of `true` is used; otherwise the property is not set. `Select` Requires a list of one or more values. Enables a single selection. Note: Not currently implemented. `Multi Select` Requires a list of one or more values. Enables multiple selections. `Secure` Used for passwords. Similar to Text except values are redacted. A value that is set on a component environment property does not override an environment property that has the same name. The environment property has precedence over the component environment property Referenced: `${p:environment/propertyName}`.
Version	Available to every component version (Components > `selected component` > Versions > `selected version` > Properties). Values can be set at the individual version level. Each property must have a type (described above). Referenced: `${p:version/propertyName}`.
