ItemType Property implementation_ddl

Good day all.  I was wondering what this property is used for, the Label is Definition.  When I ran a Nash search to return this value, all of the ItemTypes were null.  I would like to have a section for notes (or a definition) for the ItemTypes and thought that I could use this field.  Thanks for the help.

    Hi Nathan,

    I assume this one is a legacy property that was never used. "ddl" is often used by Aras as abbreviation for dropdown lists. I assume it should do the same as implementation_type.

    Aras will probably not remove it, cause it´s a core element. As it´s was never used in the past, I assume you´re free to use it for whatever you want. (*on your own risk)

      AngelaIp,

      Thanks for the response.  I think I will start using it.

        I also reuse one of the existing properties for my own stuff. In my case it was one from the "User" ItemType. So far my Innovator survived :)
