Description Prasad Mukhedkar 2016-12-18 12:05:05 UTC 
'Section' is not honored  when custom attributes 
added through the api. Section is always set to
default "Metadata", This causes problem later when
removing the custom attributes through the api.

Please provide steps to reproduce.
Comment 7 Erez Freiberger 2017-04-24 08:04:43 UTC 
Gilad,

Add a Custom Attribute with a section different than "metadata"
before it used to ignore the section that you tried to set.

Comment 9 Erez Freiberger 2017-04-24 09:40:30 UTC 
It is a very old bug, The system has changed since then to only allow specific sections.
Please try with "cluster_settings"

Comment 11 Gilad Shefer 2017-04-24 10:01:59 UTC 
Note: not working with "cluster_settings" as well.
Comment 12 Gilad Shefer 2017-04-24 10:15:51 UTC 
The problem was a bad API call (the section field was out)  -->  moving to VERIFIED
