Attributes
Properties of the artifact are fully free with mandatory, optional, and initial values, formulas. Examples: priority, status, address, contributors, sum of hours, etc. Based on enumerations, integer, boolean, decimal, user, etc. Whether single or multiple choice, counter or sum children, you will love it...
