Composite App: com.ibm.notes.publishBuiltInPropsFromView - how does it work?

I have read a very good article on getting started with Composite Applications (The View July/August 2008 - Get started creating composite applications with this hands-on exercise).

In the article there is mention of the possibility of using existing Notes database design elements as Components in a CA. Without modifing the existing design.

I have succesfully made one view Component trigger a change of category in a different view Component using that feature.

This public article has some of the details too: Using built-in properties and actions in Notes 8.0.1.

Here’s the question:

How is com.ibm.notes.publishBuiltInPropsFromView used and what does it do?

I am unable to understand any of the (very few) texts I can find on the subject. They all seem to have basically copy/pasted the same original text.

Subject: Our testing showed that was not needed, not sure why it is documented

We found that only the com.ibm.notes.enable.preferences (for the page) and the com.ibm.notes.enableBuiltInPB for the component were needed for this feature.

Subject: That makes sense - sort of

Thanks for the feedback.I have re-read what it says in the documents I referred to.

And I think you’re right. That property may have been required in an early release but it certainly is not on 8.0.2
