To indicate a customer attribute, each attribute that you are creating must start with ext_.

This might be the same as the name, but does not have to. For example you could use a readable name as the name of the drop down value, but the internal identifier from SAP as the actual used value. Whenever the value is displayed, the name or the translation will be used, but when provisioning the value to a target system, the used value will be used.
