Determine whether to convert field attributes

Converting Field Attributes to Attributes provides the following advantages:

• It is easier and faster to work with Attributes, rather than Field Attributes.

• All of your Attributes will appear on the same Object Editor page if you convert Field Attributes.

• Attributes can provide performance advantages over Field Attributes during run time (the actual performance improvement can vary between systems).

You may not want to convert Field Attributes if:

• You have a large number of objects that use Field Attributes.

• You do not want to modify and test scripts that reference Field Attributes.

• The objects are working well using Field Attributes, and there is no active development on these objects. Additional effort will be required for converting, testing, and redeploying objects.
