Thanks Samuel,

I don’t have a working wolips dev environment either. It may not be worth it to 
dig deeper. I’m still a little mystified though as to why none of the attribute 
metadata from the model is available to the sychronization frameworks. I’m sure 
there’s a great explanation but that seems like a huge gap.
