Comments

  1. Title is optional, and if it is not set, it will default to the ID.
  2. It is recommended to use inherit to “copy” attributes from the underlying data type the new data type is based off of to avoid having to provide explicit pool and layer lists.
  3. Results of a data type expression are assigned to the table referred to by the @datatype_value table variable.
