Pin/Ignore Flags

Learn about the Pin/Ignore flag for an attribute.

When a partial override with DCR changes an attribute's pin or ignore flag, it generates the DELETE_ATTRIBUTE + INSERT_ATTRIBUTE change, which changes the attribute's URI.

To prevent such modifications in the attribute path use the preserveURIs option. In this case, if you modify only a flag and not the attribute value, the PIN_ATTRIBUTE or IGNORE_ATTRIBUTE change is generated. For more information, see Changes Generated After Partial Override.

In case of unpin or unignore actions inside the request for partial override with preserveURIs option, a corresponding PIN_ATTRIBUTE or IGNORE_ATTRIBUTE is generated. It contains newPinOrIgnoreValue field, which displays the new value of the flag.

Note: If pin/ignore flag is not specified in a partial override request, it is considered as false.
