“The thinking behind dividing things into [[Events in GRAMPS|events ]] and '''attributes ''' was the following:
:The attributes are for something permanent, or at least somewhat permanent: eye color, blood type, etc. Usually you would have not more than one of each attribute type for a person/family/etc.
GEDCOM, but we try to do what makes sense rather than just
implementing a poorly written standard.” [http://old.nabble.com/Events---Attributes%2C-and-column-widths.-td5991633.html] -- Gramps-user mailing list
There is no clear boundary between attributes and events. Some will prefer having "Occupation" as an attribute, with no timespan; others, or in other situations, might find using an event more convenient.
