Attribute and Picklist Overrides for the Object Type and at the Product Level
An attribute can be associated with a picklist that has possible values for the attribute. You can set the default value of an attribute. When you associate the attribute with an object type, child object types and products inherit the attribute but can override it.
In summary, you are copying the attribute, which inherits the properties of the original attribute, then modifying those properties.
At the object type level, you can also change or replace the Picklist Display Type and configure the attribute behaviors.
At the product level, you can only change the attribute value for a product that was created from the object type. For an attribute that uses a picklist, you can select a different value, but you cannot change or replace the picklist itself.
Example: Download Speed
As an example, you may have an object type to which you have added an attribute for Download Speed. The attribute is associated with a picklist named Download Speed.
The default value for Download Speed is initially 25 MB, but you can change it, for example, to 50 MB.
