With this indicator, you can influence the display of reference characteristics in the class. If this indicator is set, the reference characteristics of the class are displayed. If this indicator is not set, you can only display the reference characteristics during characteristic value assignment via the pushbutton Hidden characteristics.
If this indicator is set, excluded characteristics or characteristic values are also displayed. Characteristics and values can be excluded on the basis of object dependencies.
