This would require a:

TypedSchemaField to store the unique data per-subtype
type data property on the system model to distinguish which subtype is being used in the sub-data
data model migration to move the current numeric attribute values into the sub-data
way to set the attribute's subtype (maybe make it read-only after setting it initially?)
A unique way to display each attribute type's data:
- above the fold
- below the fold
- on the attribute item sheet

Bonus points:

providing a way for modules to make attribute subtypes (would require a type ID, as well as a template for each of the unique display locations provided)

Possible subtypes are:

String:
- Single string field to represent whatever they want
Checkbox:
- Single boolean field to represent true/false
Number:
- Single numeric field
Range: (required, as this would be what everything gets migrated to unless it has a subtype already)
- Same as Number subtype
- Adds a Min/Max value
- Displays as an "X / Y" inputs

Currently Attribute items only support numeric values. There has been some discussion of having different data types supported for attributes, they could be expanded to have a subtype property in the data model that allows changing a "data" property in the system model. This would require a: - TypedSchemaField to store the unique data per-subtype - `type` data property on the system model to distinguish which subtype is being used in the sub-data - data model migration to move the current numeric attribute values into the sub-data - way to set the attribute's subtype (maybe make it read-only after setting it initially?) - A unique way to display each attribute type's data: - above the fold - below the fold - on the attribute item sheet Bonus points: - providing a way for modules to make attribute subtypes (would require a type ID, as well as a template for each of the unique display locations provided) --- Possible subtypes are: - String: - Single string field to represent whatever they want - Checkbox: - Single boolean field to represent true/false - Number: - Single numeric field - Range: (required, as this would be what everything gets migrated to unless it has a subtype already) - Same as Number subtype - Adds a Min/Max value - Displays as an "X / Y" inputs
