addAttributeTypeSelectionValue

Adds a selection value to an enumerated attribute type. Attributes with enumerated types are displayed in the user interface as a drop-down list. Use this method to add a string value to the list, addAttributeTypeSelectionValueInteger to add an integer, or addAttributeTypeSelectionValueNumber for a floating point value.

Each value is associated internally with a unique ID which will be returned by this method when the value is added successfully. This ID is used by other selection list methods to manipulate individual values.

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
skey	string
id_attr_type	string	The ID of the attribute type.
the_value	string	The value to add to the selection list.
is_default	boolean	If true, this value becomes the default selection for the list.

Return

The addAttributeTypeSelectionValue method returns the ID of the newly added value (a string).

Exceptions

The addAttributeTypeSelectionValue method may report the following exceptions:

TypeError if the value is inappropriate for the attribute type
ValueError if the attribute type does not exist
