- Set at least name, description and data type
- Change the MetaProperty ’s category if necessary
- Save the changes
- Optional configuration:

NEEDSVALIDATION
- explizite Speicherung des Validierungszeitstempels
- zB Verwendung am Client: der Wert dieser Eigenschaft muss am Client validiert, dh. zumindest einmal angeklickt, werden. Bei Verwendung der CLS_TASK Klassifizierung wird dieses Objekt als Finished gekennzeichnet, sobald ALLE solch konfigurierten MetaEigenschaften validiert sind.
