Modifying an Attribute

Each objectclass in the selected entry has a number of attributes associated with it. Some of these attributes are mandatory (marked with an "M") and need to be given a value, others are optional (marked with an "O") and can be left without a value. In this window you can assign values to the attributes. You can assign multiple values to an attribute.

Some attributes accept multiple values, others can only have one value. This is defined in the schema by the SINGLE-VALUE keyword. If you try to add more than one value to a single-valued attribute, an error message is displayed.
