Description

The MES Custom Property object holds information defined by the user, extending the custom property concept from core Ignition.  Custom Properties can be added to MES Objects via the MES Object Editor component or through scripting.  The purpose of this object is to attach additional relevant data points to any object in the system.

Note that unlike custom properties in core Ignition, the MES Custom Property allows for complex data structures wherein child data points can be nested under parents to n levels. 

This object is derived from the Abstract MES Property and inherits its functions or properties.
