Mirrors

A Mirror is where a valued typed into one attribute is mirrored in another attribute.

For Example:

If you set an Attribute Mirror between Photo Ref and Photo File Name. As you type in the Photo Reference Text box the same characters display in the Photo File Name text box.
This would then mean that you only have to add the extension (.jpg) to the Photo File Name to ensure that there is a link between the results, and thus it would be easy to find which reference each photo file refers to.

Master Attribute
This is the choice made from an attribute that will be mirrored into another attribute (Slave)

Slave Attribute
