Can I control what happens to attributes in conref-ed elements ?
Forum topic: Submitted by Jangli on Thu, 2009-07-23 16:04. Last updated on Thu, 2009-07-23 16:05.
When I conref an element, the attributes - excepting id and conref of course - are copied from the source to the reference element. This also happens when updating the conrefs. Is there a way to control this behavior, i.e. suppress it for specific elements ?

re attributes on conref'd elements
You can create the attribute on the referencing element - that will override the values on the target. But that may/may not be useful depending on your use case.
Can you give me an example of why/when you want to do this?
