# Attributes

Procedures support [**Custom Attributes**](/features/custom-attributes.md) that can be used to add user-defined data fields to procedures. Procedure attributes are accessible thorough a tab in the procedure view.

Much like procedure steps, procedure attributes are copied to run attributes provided the run attribute has the same name. For example, if both procedure and run have an attribute called "Department", on creation the Run attribute would inherit the value of the procedure attribute when created.
