| A pattern object that is attached to an entity is automatically saved with the seed entity unless the save operation removes the pattern (refer to section Pattern Safety). Because the pattern object contains the information needed to regenerate the other pattern elements, the other pattern elements are not saved, except for their tags and pattern-compatible attributes (refer to section Patterns, Attributes, and Tags). | |||||
| A pattern object may be saved independently using the api_pattern_to_entity function, which creates an ENTITY-derived APATTERN object that is savable (like any entity). | |||||
