Represents the definition of a property that holds a Content Engine object value. A PropertyDefinitionObject object is created from a PropertyTemplateObject object and contains mutable metadata that you can customize. When you add a PropertyDefinitionObject object to a class definition's PropertyDefinitions collection, a user-defined (custom), object-valued property is created on that class.

The value of a custom, object-valued property can be one of the following types of objects:

  • An instance of a RepositoryObject subclass.
  • An instance of a SecurityPrincipal subclass (includes User and Group objects).
  • An independently retrievable GCD object. The following GCD objects are not allowed: EntireNetwork and Domain.

Many of the metaproperties that originate from a property template can be modified on the property definition of the class, while other metaproperties can be modified only on the property template. For a list of modifiable metaproperties and how they can be customized, see Modifying Custom Metaproperties.
