Date: Limits values to dates in the following syntax: `mm dd yyyy`. Boolean: Limits values to binary values: true or false. Enumerator: Enables you to create a comma-separated list of values in the Set Values field. Values are later placed in a drop-down list when assigning a custom attribute value to a device or device group.
