Format:
projects/{project}/locations/{location}/attributes/{attribute}The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.To set the
projectattribute:-
provide the argument
attributeon the command line with a fully specified name; -
provide the argument
--projecton the command line; -

-
Attribute resource - Identifier. The name of the attribute in the API Hub.
- FLAGS
-
--cardinality=CARDINALITY- The maximum number of values that the attribute can have when associated with an API Hub resource. Cardinality 1 would represent a single-valued attribute. It must not be less than 1 or greater than 20. If not specified, the cardinality would be set to 1 by default and represent a single-valued attribute.
--data-type=DATA_TYPE-
The type of the data of the attribute.
DATA_TYPEmust be one of:enum- Attribute's value is of type enum.
json- Attribute's value is of type json.
string- Attribute's value is of type string.
uri- Attribute's value is of type uri.
--description=DESCRIPTION- The description of the attribute.
--display-name=DISPLAY_NAME- The display name of the attribute.
--scope=SCOPE-
The scope of the attribute. It represents the resource in the API Hub to which
the attribute can be linked.
SCOPEmust be one of:api- Attribute can be linked to an API.
api-operation- Attribute can be linked to an API Operation.
definition- Attribute can be linked to a definition.
dependency- Attribute can be linked to a Dependency.
deployment- Attribute can be linked to a Deployment.
external-api- Attribute can be linked to a ExternalAPI.
plugin- Attribute can be linked to a Plugin.
spec- Attribute can be linked to a Spec.

-
Update allowed_values.
At most one of these can be specified:
--allowed-values=[description=DESCRIPTION],[displayName=DISPLAYNAME],[id=ID],[immutable=IMMUTABLE]-
Set allowed_values to new value. The list of allowed values when the attribute
value is of type enum. This is required when the data_type of the attribute is
ENUM. The maximum number of allowed values of an attribute will be 1000.
description- The detailed description of the allowed value.
displayName- The display name of the allowed value.
id-
The ID of the allowed value.
- If provided, the same will be used. The service will throw an error if the specified id is already used by another allowed value in the same attribute resource.
- If not provided, a system generated id derived from the display name will be used. In this case, the service will handle conflict resolution by adding a system generated suffix in case of duplicates.
This value should be 4-63 characters, and valid characters are /[a-z][0-9]-/.
immutable- When set to true, the allowed value cannot be updated or deleted by the user. It can only be true for System defined attributes.
Shorthand Example:--allowed-values=description=string,displayName=string,id=string,immutable=boolean --allowed-values=description=string,displayName=string,id=string,immutable=boolean
JSON Example:--allowed-values='[{"description": "string", "displayName": "string", "id": "string", "immutable": boolean}]'
File Example:--allowed-values=path_to_file.(yaml|json)
-
Or at least one of these can be specified:
--add-allowed-values=[description=DESCRIPTION],[displayName=DISPLAYNAME],[id=ID],[immutable=IMMUTABLE]-
Add new value to allowed_values list. The list of allowed values when the
attribute value is of type enum. This is required when the data_type of the
attribute is ENUM. The maximum number of allowed values of an attribute will be
1000.
description- The detailed description of the allowed value.
displayName- The display name of the allowed value.
id-
The ID of the allowed value.
- If provided, the same will be used. The service will throw an error if the specified id is already used by another allowed value in the same attribute resource.
- If not provided, a system generated id derived from the display name will be used. In this case, the service will handle conflict resolution by adding a system generated suffix in case of duplicates.
This value should be 4-63 characters, and valid characters are /[a-z][0-9]-/.
immutable- When set to true, the allowed value cannot be updated or deleted by the user. It can only be true for System defined attributes.
Shorthand Example:--add-allowed-values=description=string,displayName=string,id=string,immutable=boolean --add-allowed-values=description=string,displayName=string,id=string,immutable=boolean
JSON Example:--add-allowed-values='[{"description": "string", "displayName": "string", "id": "string", "immutable": boolean}]'
File Example:--add-allowed-values=path_to_file.(yaml|json)
-
At most one of these can be specified:
--clear-allowed-values- Clear allowed_values value and set to empty list.
--remove-allowed-values=[description=DESCRIPTION],[displayName=DISPLAYNAME],[id=ID],[immutable=IMMUTABLE]-
Remove existing value from allowed_values list. The list of allowed values when
the attribute value is of type enum. This is required when the data_type of the
attribute is ENUM. The maximum number of allowed values of an attribute will be
1000.
description- The detailed description of the allowed value.
displayName- The display name of the allowed value.
id-
The ID of the allowed value.

- If not provided, a system generated id derived from the display name will be used. In this case, the service will handle conflict resolution by adding a system generated suffix in case of duplicates.
This value should be 4-63 characters, and valid characters are /[a-z][0-9]-/.
immutable- When set to true, the allowed value cannot be updated or deleted by the user. It can only be true for System defined attributes.
Shorthand Example:--remove-allowed-values=description=string,displayName=string,id=string,immutable=boolean --remove-allowed-values=description=string,displayName=string,id=string,immutable=boolean
