Ignore Attribute

Learn how to ignore an attribute with the Attribute API.

Use the Attribute ignore endpoint to set or remove an ignored flag for a particular attribute value.

Here are considerations to understand when using this flag:
  • Its behavior is opposite to the pin value. When getting attribute values, the API always returns ignored values last, no matter which survivorship strategy is set for this attribute type.
  • If a value is ignored and this value is updated through an API or DCR, the updated value also remains ignored. For details, see topic Pin/Ignore Flags.
  • If this value is ignored, all crosswalks containing the same value are also ignored.

  • If you need to override the ignore flag when the same value is updated from a different crosswalk, raise a Support ticket requesting to set the overridePrevValueStatus to true in the Tenant Storage Configuration of the Physical Configuration. For information on raising a Support ticket, see topic Need some help?
