Extended Properties

These properties can be used for special use cases and are only valid for version 0.1.140+. Please ensure that you are using the correct version, because the syntax in previous versions can be different. Each property is a key-value pair of type string and can be set in the properties property of a Content Item Object. The dynamic properties can also be set via an action at runtime. For more information, please see Internal Actions.

Note: It is also possible to set values of type boolean or number as non-string values (e.g. "true" → true or "123" → 123).
