What is the purpose of the 'Attributes' field on the Discovery IP Range form?

Hi, I am on Fuji version. My question is what is the purpose of the "Attributes" field on the Discovery IP Range form (related list on Discovery Schedule form)? Thanks for your input!

Nothing really.. As you get comfortable with the platform you will see attributes that are from a parent table that are available on to its children even though they provide no real necessity..

Knowing this is an old post, I can add some useful information. 

We are on Madrid, I placed comments into the Attributes line, and it caused the Discovery job to fail immediately, without doing any work, with Java errors. 

HI told me to remove the comments, and the Schedule did run. 

So my question is still what is the field used for, and are there any type of comments I can add there without causing failures?  Thanks!

Again, this is an old post, but my question is this. Is there a field we can use for comments. On occasion I've had some use cases that would be very nice to add comments here. Any feedback on this? Also, any update on the question "what is purpose of 'Attributes' field"?

I would try putting a test comment in one schedule, and see if it works or fails. 

In older releases, it caused the schedule to fail.
