It will be great if we can download\copy any of our objects Application Modeller attributes to another object or environment .
Say i did some changes in my DEV for a object (just a attribute property change) it will be great instead of importing the complete object to UAT\PROD i just import my attribute file of that object .
Thus if someone wants to just only have attributes file due to some automaton of Peer review\documentation one can directly check the file instead of complete .bprelease. Moreover attributes can be then be moved across objects or environments.
