Change binary attributes

If an attribute requires binary data, a Binary data button is displayed next to the attribute field. If the attribute has no data the field is blank. Because binary attributes cannot be displayed, if an attribute contains binary data, the field displays Binary Data - 1. If the attribute contains multiple values, the field displays as a drop-down list.
