Hi,

I see there is development going on for dynamic attributes [1] on some meta objects (DataElement, Indicator, DataSet, OrganisationUnit?). 

Some questions:

- What is the planned use cases for this?
- Is this significantly different from the attributes in the tracking module (I guess these might be more dynamic, but not sure)?
- It doesn't seem to be linked to the general classes of nameable/identifiable object. Is it meant to be implemented just for specific meta object types?

and then I guess my main interest:

- How should these be handled in the communication with external systems
- is it a general component that we should think through the use of in relation to things like the mobile solutions?

Would be great to get some background info.

Jo
