    Hi Wolfgang, good points, thus I asked for a Jira so we can add
    proper support for it. <br>
    If you know of a better workaround with whats currently available
    let us know.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks.<br>

            for fact types and attributes you should be able to reuse
            the Functions keyword in the RuleSet section of your sheet,
            for example:<br>
            <br>
            -----------------------------------------------<br>
            | Functions | declare Person @author( Bob ) ......... end |<br>
            -----------------------------------------------<br>
            <br>
            For rule attributes you can reuse the "I" keyword as the
            cell header and add the attributes, for example:<br>
            <br>
            -------------------------------------------------<br>
            |RuleTable Sample|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
            |&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |<br>

            Action&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |<br>
            -------------------------------------------------<br>
            | $p : Person &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; | &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; | &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
            &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |<br>
            -------------------------------------------------<br>
            | name==$param|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

            System.out.....&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; |<br>
            -------------------------------------------------<br>
            <br>
            Neither are optimal, but just workarounds. If you raise a
            Jira, I can put on todo list.<br>
            Hope this helps.<br>
            <br>
            Thanks.<br>
