 # Class PlugInMetadataFromAttribute

 Last update: 19.06.2026 

Namespace: [Phoenix.PlugIns](Phoenix.PlugIns.md)  
Assembly: Phoenix.PlugIns.dll

If defined on a plug-in class, all the metadata attributes except for `Phoenix.PlugIns.PlugInTypesAttribute` will be read from the alternate class. This helps reduce repeated code when there are multiple related plug-ins.

Note, this attribute is not recursive. If the referenced class also has this attribute defined, it will not be followed.

```csharp
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class)]
public class PlugInMetadataFromAttribute : Attribute


```
