Can you avoid having to add the item to all? I am no spec build system expert
(having invested time) and seem to remember needing to hit a lot of files when
adding something ...

The documentation mentions at least some optional attributes in the specification files. For example "format" in a build option item or the "do-configure" in a build script item:

https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/eng/req/items.html#build-option-item-type
https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/eng/req/items.html#build-script-item-type

But I think the wscript has to take into account that the value might not exist. I'm not sure whether it does that for the existing "optional" attributes. For example my first guess would be that the "do-configure" could throw a KeyError:

https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/wscript#n1127

    def do_configure(self, conf, cic):
        script = self.data["do-configure"]
        if script:
            exec(script)

Usually I would have expected the following code instead:

    def do_configure(self, conf, cic):
        try:
            script = self.data["do-configure"]
        except KeyError:
            script = None
        if script:
            exec(script)

So I can't clearly answer your question. I would have to try it. But regardless whether there are currently such options or not: They shouldn't be hard to implement. I just hope that this doesn't break some use case. I'll try to remember to ask Sebastian about it next week.

Best regards

Christian
