I would not use I / DESCRIPTION for these reasons:<br><ul><li>it's not parameterized, and I think you don't want to repeat the @Meta(...) for every rule, you just want the argument</li><li>you can use only one I column, since the 2nd one silently overwrites the 1st one, so you'll have to squeeze multiple @s into one cell</li>
<li>it is an undocumented feature, and the name would suggest that it was intended for providing a comment</li></ul>Adding a proper metadata column type is simple, given what is available from other column types.<br><br>-W<br>

Hi Jason, <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| |
|<br>
-------------------------------------------------<br>
| Condition | I |
Action |<br>
-------------------------------------------------<br>
| $p : Person | |
|<br>
-------------------------------------------------<br>
| name==$param|
| |<br>
-------------------------------------------------<br>
| SomeName | @author( Bob ) | System.out..... |<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>
