Custom attributes at two levels #
Custom attributes can now be defined as endpoint managed as well as group managed. A group managed attribute holds one value applied to every endpoint in the group, as before. An endpoint managed attribute holds a value on each device, entered when the device is added or edited, and is opted in per group. The level belongs to the attribute and is fixed when it is created.
A definition now also carries an input type (text, integer, decimal, toggle, IP address, date, dropdown or key), an optional display name, a required flag, and a self-service exposure setting of none, display or editable. Dropdown options carry a description and an optional icon, so the value written to Cisco ISE can stay machine friendly while readers see something meaningful.
Device type is no longer a fixed field. It ships as a seeded system attribute named Device Type, pre-selected on every group, whose options, requiredness and exposure an administrator can edit.
