    Parameters:
    
    attributes - The array of AttributeI, must not be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    The attribute path string (e.g., "Ansprechpartner.Geschlecht.Name").
  - getContainingElementName
```
default java.lang.String getContainingElementName()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getContainingElementName in interface BasicAttributeI
  - getSchema
```
SchemaI getSchema()
```
    Returns the schema associated with this attribute.
    
    Returns:
    
    The SchemaI instance that defines this attribute.
  - getEntityName
```
java.lang.String getEntityName()
```
    Returns the name of the entity to which this attribute belongs.
    Note: This method returns the *name* of the entity, not the entity object itself. This is intentional to prevent direct coupling to the entity object.
    
    Returns:
    
    The name (String) of the owning entity.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - If this attribute hasn't been linked to an entity yet.
  - getEntity
```
default EntityI getEntity()
```
    Returns the entity to which this attribute belongs.
    This default implementation retrieves the entity by its name from the schema associated with this attribute. It's a convenient way to get the full entity object without directly storing a reference to it within the attribute itself.
    
    Returns:
    
    The EntityI object that owns this attribute.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - If this attribute hasn't been linked to an entity yet.
  - getQName
```
default java.lang.String getQName()
```
    Returns the qualified name of this attribute.
    The qualified name is formed by combining the name of the owning entity and the attribute's own name, separated by a dot (e.g., "EntityName.attributeName"). This format is sufficient to uniquely identify an attribute within the entire schema.
    
    Returns:
    
    The qualified name of this attribute as a String.
  - getQName
```
default java.lang.String getQName(BOI bo)
```
    Returns the qualified name of this attribute, prefixed with a concise description of a specific Business Object (BO) instance.
    This creates a more specific reference, such as "BO[1234].Id". If the provided BO instance is null, this method falls back to returning the general qualified name without a BO instance prefix.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bo - The BOI instance to include in the qualified name.
    
    Returns:
    
    The qualified name prefixed with the BO's concise description, or the general qualified name if the BO is null.
  - getTypedQName
```
default java.lang.String getTypedQName()
```
    Returns the qualified name of this attribute, appended with its type postfix.
    This provides a more descriptive name, for example, "BO.Id (Long)" for scalar attributes or "Relation.Items (1-n)" for relations. The type postfix helps in understanding the nature of the attribute at a glance.
    
    Returns:
    
    The qualified name of this attribute with its type or relation type in parentheses.
  - getTypedQName
```
default java.lang.String getTypedQName(BOI bo)
```
    Returns the qualified name of this attribute, prefixed with a concise description of a specific Business Object (BO) instance and appended with its type postfix.
    This creates a highly descriptive reference, such as "BO[1234].Id (Long)" or "Rel[5678].Items (1-n)". If the provided BO instance is null, this method falls back to returning the general typed qualified name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bo - The BOI instance to include in the qualified name.
    
    Returns:
    
    The qualified name prefixed with the BO's concise description and appended with its type postfix.
  - toNiceString
```
@Deprecated
default java.lang.String toNiceString()
```
    Deprecated. Use getQName() instead, as it provides the same functionality with a clearer name.
    
    Returns the qualified name of this AttributeI.
    
    Returns:
    
    The qualified name of this AttributeI.
  - isSerialized
```
boolean isSerialized()
```
  - isPersistent
```
boolean isPersistent()
```
  - isIgnoreBackRelation
```
boolean isIgnoreBackRelation()
```
  - isCoreNative
```
default boolean isCoreNative()
```
    Checks if this attribute was initially defined in the MyTISM core schema.
    This is determined by checking if the package of the attribute's owning entity matches the predefined core package name specified in MyTISMConstantsI.PACKAGE_NAME_MYTISM_CORE. A null check is performed on the associated entity before accessing its package.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this AttributeI was initially defined in the core schema, false otherwise.
  - isModuleNative
```
default boolean isModuleNative()
```
    Checks if this attribute was initially defined in the schema of any module.
    This is determined by checking if the attribute is associated with any module packages. It relies on the getModulePackages() method returning a non-empty collection of package names.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this AttributeI was initially defined in a module's schema, false otherwise.
  - isPartOfModule
```
default boolean isPartOfModule(java.lang.String modulePackage)
```
    Checks if this attribute is part of the schema of a specific module.
    This is determined by verifying that the attribute is generally associated with any module (via isModuleNative()) AND that its associated module packages explicitly include the provided modulePackage.
    
    Parameters:
    
    modulePackage - The name of the module package to check against (e.g. "com.oashi.modules.erp", "com.oashi.modules.crm"). Must not be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this AttributeI belongs to the schema of the specified module, false otherwise.
  - isProjectNative
```
default boolean isProjectNative()
```
    Checks if this attribute was initially defined in the schema of the current project.
    This is determined by comparing the package of the attribute's owning entity with the default package defined in the schema associated with this attribute (obtained via getSchema()). An attribute is considered a project attribute if its entity's package exactly matches the project's default package.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this AttributeI was initially defined in the project's schema, false otherwise.
  - getCalculationAuthority
```
int getCalculationAuthority()
```
    Returns the calculation authority of this AttributeI if it is non-persistent.

```
  - getL10nNameKey
```
java.lang.String getL10nNameKey()
```
    Returns the localization name key for this AttributeI. The key determines which localized string is retrieved for the attribute's name, varying based on its relation type and read-only status.
    - If the attribute is not a "many-relation" (i.e., it's a single-valued attribute), this method returns the attribute's primary name key.
    - If the attribute is a "many-relation":
      
      And it is read-only, this method returns the attribute's primary name key, as there is only the plural, which is the name of the attribute.
      
      And it is not read-only, it returns the singular form of the attribute's localized name, appended with SUFFIX_L10N_PLURAL_KEY (typically "-s"), to represent a plural or collection name key.
    Returns:
    
    The appropriate localization name key (String) for this AttributeI, adapted based on its many-relation and read-only properties.
  - getL10nNameVar
```
java.lang.String getL10nNameVar()
```
    Returns a localizable String variable reference for the name of this AttributeI.
    This method constructs a string that serves as a reference to a localized resource. The format is typically `$R{'KEY'}`, where 'KEY' is determined by getL10nNameKey(). This allows the UI or report generation to fetch the appropriate localized name dynamically.
    
    Returns:
    
    The localizable String variable reference for the name of this AttributeI (e.g. "$R{Position}").
  - getL10nName
```
java.lang.String getL10nName()
```
    Returns the localized name of this AttributeI.
    This method retrieves the appropriate localized string for the attribute's name by using its determined localization name key (from getL10nNameKey()). It delegates to the L10n.msg(String, Object[], Object[], boolean) method to perform the actual localization lookup. If no translation is found, the original name key is returned as a fallback.
    
    Returns:
    
    The localized name of this AttributeI as a String.
  - getL10nSingularKey
```
java.lang.String getL10nSingularKey()
```
    Returns the singular key of this AttributeI, used for localization.
    This key uniquely identifies the singular form of the attribute's name within the localization (L10n) bundles. It is typically derived from the attribute's base name.
    
    Returns:
    
    The singular key (String) of this AttributeI for localization purposes.
  - getL10nSingularVar
```
java.lang.String getL10nSingularVar()
```
    Returns a localizable String for the singular key of this AttributeI (i.e. $R{'KEY'}).
    
    Returns:
    
    the localizable String for the singular key of this AttributeI
  - getL10nSingular
```
java.lang.String getL10nSingular()
```
    Returns the localized singular form of this AttributeI.
    This method retrieves the appropriate singular translation of the attribute's name from the localization resources (L10n bundles) based on the current locale. Falls back to returning the key if no translation was found.
    
    Returns:
    
    The localized singular String of this AttributeI.
  - getL10nEntityName
```
java.lang.String getL10nEntityName()
```
    Returns the localized name of the entity to which this attribute belongs.
    This method typically retrieves the localized name by first obtaining the associated entity (via an internal mechanism of the attribute) and then calling that entity's getL10nName() method. It makes sure the attribute is properly linked to an entity before trying to retrieve its name.
    
    Returns:
    
    The localized name (String) of the owning entity.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - If this attribute hasn't been linked to an entity yet (meaning its internal entity reference would return null).
  - getBackAttribute
```
AttributeI getBackAttribute()
```
  - isLazy
```
boolean isLazy()
```
  - isCustomIteratorNotCaching
```
boolean isCustomIteratorNotCaching()
```
    Returns true if this AttributeI is a relation that uses a custom iterator to fetch its members incrementally and the relation shall be refreshed, i.e. the iterator shall run again to fill and refresh the relation.
    The default is false, so the values are cached forever, which is useful as custom iterators are typically used in situations where a long running calculation shall only be done once and for new results, a new instance must be used.
  - isDepend

```
java.lang.Float getFTSBoost()
```
  - isReportVisible
```
boolean isReportVisible()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if this AttributeI shall be printed in the automatic reports, defaults to true
  - getReportRelativeWidth
```
int getReportRelativeWidth()
```
    Return the relative width of the attribute in the automatic reports, defaults to 1. If e.g. 3 is given the attribute will take three times as much space as by default.
    This works also for attributes of entities extending other entities and adding attributes with their own relativeWiths.
    
    Returns:
    
    the relative width of the attribute in the automatic reports, defaults to 1
  - getReportPosition
```
java.lang.Integer getReportPosition()
```
    Returns the expected position of the attribute in the automatic reports.
    Tip: be sure to use 'high' values, so that attributes of extending entities can 'squeeze in' between them if necessary ;-) e.g. 100, 200, 300, ...
    
    Returns:
    
    the expected position of the attribute in the automatic reports
  - getReportSort
```
java.lang.String getReportSort()
```
    Returns:
    
    the way the report-data shall be sorted "flat", e.g. "asc" or "desc"
  - getReportManySort
```
java.lang.String getReportManySort()
```
    Returns:
    
    the way the report-data shall be sorted, e.g. "Tid:A, Nummer:D"
  - getReportAlias
```
java.lang.String getReportAlias()
```
    If a report alias is given, this is the sign for us to generate a group in the report and show the data of this many-relation.
    FIXME: support more than one many-relation in automatic reports
    
    Returns:
    
    an alias for the first many-relation or null if non defined in the schema
  - getFromNode
```
OnlyToDirectedGraphNodeI getFromNode()
```
    Description copied from interface: GraphEdgeI
    
    Retrieves the source node from which this directed edge originates.
    This method is contractually obligated to return a non-null OnlyToDirectedGraphNodeI instance, as every valid edge must have a defined starting point.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getFromNode in interface GraphEdgeI
    
    Returns:
    
    The non-null source node (also referred to as the "from-node" or "tail") of this edge.
  - getToNode
```
OnlyToDirectedGraphNodeI getToNode()
```
    Description copied from interface: GraphEdgeI
    
    Retrieves the target node to which this directed edge points.
    This method is contractually obligated to return a non-null OnlyToDirectedGraphNodeI instance, as every valid edge must have a defined ending point.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getToNode in interface GraphEdgeI
    
    Returns:
    
    The non-null target node (also referred to as the "to-node" or "head") of this edge.
