About this task

All dynamic categories and dynamic attributes belong to a dynamic namespace that you can associate with one or more dynamic attribute store fields.

A dynamic namespace is automatically created when you create a dynamic attribute store field. However, you can also create a dynamic namespace manually, and then associate it with one or more store fields. You might create a dynamic namespace this way in the following scenarios:

You created a dynamic attribute store field for storing transient attributes, which automatically created an associated namespace, but now you want to associate the store field with a different namespace that contains a different set of dynamic categories and dynamic attributes.
You created multiple dynamic attribute store fields on one or more tables, and you want them all to share the dynamic categories and dynamic attributes that you defined in a new namespace.

Note that changing the namespace associated with a dynamic attribute store field doesn't modify any saved data in the store field, but can affect how the system interacts with that data.
