    By the way this is a missing feature for a long time: https://ariscommunity.com/users/ivo/2009-06-26-creating-combined-data-type-attribute

    More precisely the request should be: "Make combined attribute types configurable" as promised in the method help.

    Combined Data Type Attributes are a combination of value (integer) and unit (enumeration) fields, e.g. for a period of time AT_PRD_OF_TIME_1, which the user can fill in one go instead of clicking on two separate attributes (and mostly missing the unit).

    The attribute base type ABT_COMBINED is already part of the Aris method c.f. Architect Method Help <yourdomain>/abs/help/en/method/#/home/HELPID_ABT_COMBINED/en/1

    Although help states they can be configured (/abs/help/en/method/#/home/HELPID_AT_PRD_OF_TIME_1/en/1) it is not possible to create or change attributes of this type.

    I need for example to reduce the time units enumeration to allow only for month and years instead of seconds through years. Currently it is impossible.
