Item Attribute in Item Attribute Explorer not sticky

[bookman]

I created a new Attribute called Rank and assigned it to a Category called Document.

What I wanted to do was to rank some of the webpages I saved.

In my Data Explorer Pane, I have a folder called Inbox to which all my saved webpages goes into.


No matter what I do, I could not get this new Item Attribute called Rank to always display in the Item Attributes Pane (Crtl + 4) irrespective of whether an item has that attribute.

It will only display if I previously had assigned a value to the Rank attribute (or at least specially added that attribute to that Item even without a value in the Item Attribute pane).

But if I shift the focus to a sibling, this Rank attribute no longer display in the Item Attribute Pane.

That is, if I wish to enter a value into the Item Attribute called Rank, I would have to press INS, choose Rank and hit enter in the Item Attribute Pane.

I must be missing something here.

you need to add the attribute to "Document" template item.

I think you might be confused because the attribute category has the same name as template item ("Document" in this case). But those are two completely different things ...

Thanks Quant.

It is fixed now.

Much appreciated.
