enum PropertyState
Description This enumeration lists the states that a property value can have. The state consists of two aspects: whether a value is available or void, whether the value is stored in the property set itself or is a default, or ambiguous. See also XPropertyState See also Property

Values
DIRECT_VALUE | The value of the property is stored in the PropertySet itself.
DEFAULT_VALUE | The value of the property is available from a master (e.g., template).
AMBIGUOUS_VALUE | The value of the property is only a recommendation because there are multiple values for this property (e.g., from a multi selection).
