*name attribute yes unique name
pick from Name column of material identifiers identifier no your values
pick from Name column of material properties property no your values
use_existing property no TRUE, FALSE, or blank
notes attribute no regular text


options for each row are clickable links in the chart below:

each material you are using must have a unique name, no duplicates

You can have as many Identifiers, property, property:condition, property:method, property:type as you need
