Hi,

Attributes are explained in that links. They are required so that we can decide who the field should work.

For example: assignment group field. If you enable tree picker use tree_picker attribute then it will show you tree structure with assignment group and members in that group. But if you dont then it will show you normal list of groups like any other reference field.

Thanks,
