Attributes will auto-roll years; performance measures imported as editable text

Legislative drafting & appropriations working group (demo) · April 28, 2026

Summary

Presenters showed that fields marked as attributes (gray fields) auto-update to the current year while free text does not; performance measures come in as formatted text that the editor can change but do not feed back to the source database.

The demo showed how 'year' attributes behave: fields resolved as attributes will update to the drafting year's value, while static free-text years remain unchanged. Presenter demonstrated resolving an attribute and the year changing automatically.

Participants also discussed performance measures: those entries come in as a pasted text block (not a numeric attribute) and can be edited in the editor, but edits do not push back to the source database. Speaker 4 said performance measures "come through different" and that while they can be altered in the draft, the system only pulls them in one way from the API.
