String

• once (default) The node representing the enclosing object binds to a node in the Data model in accordance with the standard matching rules. • none The node representing the enclosing object is transient. It will not be bound to any node in the Data model. • global The containing field is global. If the normal matching rules fail to provide a match for it, the data-binding process looks outside the current record for data to bind to the field. • dataRef The containing field binds to the node in the Data model specified by the accompanying ref property.
