| 27 | * a date or numerical data type. The consumer of these settings is free to ignore the given | |
| 28 | * attribute range information if it does not believe it is possible to successfully present a range-based | |
| 29 | * lookup option based on the data type (or other settings) of the {@code AttributeField}.</p> | |
