Hi,

I have custom attributes (like addtional information, comments, etc.) in a DNG module. I want to add these attributes to a table in RPE. How can I add these attributes to the data source schema in RPE so that I can access and use them in the template?

Thanks in advance!

You need not modify the schema as it already includes the custom attributes (dataSource/artifact/collaboration/attributes/objectType/customAttribute), which you can use in RPE template.
You can add a condition (name == "additional information") or data filter on dataSource/artifact/collaboration/attributes/objectType/customAttribute/name and print dataSource/artifact/collaboration/attributes/objectType/customAttribute/value

Could you give me an example? I have a custom attribute "additional information" which I'd like to read out. It only consists of text (string). How would I do that?

You can refer this simple example template that depicts filter usage as well as using condition on Text element.

Example files can be found inside the Templates folder of RPE Studio installation.
