Issue/Introduction

When using UC_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTES, not all entries show up in the General tab -> Metadata -> Custom Attributes of objects when the Variable 1 column has the same entry.  For example, with three entries in UC_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTES, all using a Value 1 of VARA.YES_NO as below:

Key 1: SEND_JOB_SUCCESS#      Value 1: VARA.YES_NO     Value 2: Send Job Success Notification
Key 2: SEND_SCRI_SUCCESS#      Value 1: VARA.YES_NO     Value 2: Send Script Success Notification
Key 1: SEND_WF_SUCCESS#      Value 1: VARA.YES_NO     Value 2: Send Workflow Success Notification

The General tabs of objects only show the last one in the list, SEND_WF_SUCCESS#:

Environment

All versions using the AWI

Resolution

This is as designed.  All Custom Attributes are grouped by the Value 1 entry in the UC_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTES variable object and sorted by reverse alphabet.  A different value for Value 1 must be used and only the last alphabetically will show up by default.

To have all entries show as different Attributes, use a different Value 1:

Key 1: SEND_JOB_SUCCESS#      Value 1: VARA.YES_NO     Value 2: Send Job Success Notification
Key 2: SEND_SCRI_SUCCESS#      Value 1: VARA.YES_NO1     Value 2: Send Script Success Notification
Key 1: SEND_WF_SUCCESS#      Value 1: VARA.YES_NO2     Value 2: Send Workflow Success Notification

This will show each entry that has a unique Value 1 in the UC_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTES variable:

 

Additional Information

Another example where only two of the three will show up is with the first two in the list:

Here only the last entries using the same Value 1 show up:
