System package properties

Unlike properties for many other system objects, properties defined for the system package built-in class in the Property Dictionary cannot be changed. To add properties, define them in the Local Properties of the system package.

Like other system objects, system packages inherit properties defined for a built-in class in the Property Dictionary. However, you cannot change the properties defined for the system package built-in class in the Property Dictionary, the way you can for many other system objects. (In fact, the built-in class for system package is hidden from display within the Property Dictionary.) Instead, to add a property to a system package, you add it to the individual system package itself, using the Local Properties panel for that system package.

Using parameters that refer to properties can be very useful when provisioning.
