# GlideElementDynamicAttributeStore - Global

# GlideElementDynamicAttributeStore - Global {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 7 minutes to read  
The GlideElementDynamicAttributeStore API provides convenient script methods for managing dynamic attributes in the current glide record. Use these methods in conjunction with the
GlideRecord API to get and set defined dynamic attribute values.

To use this API to create dynamic attributes you must have the dynamic_schema_writer role. To read dynamic data using this API you must have the dynamic_schema_reader role.

This API extends the [GlideElement - Global](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/o_Lv25nSEwsDQ_Ej4p8L5Q#c_GlideElementAPI "The GlideElement API provides a number of convenient script methods for dealing with fields and their values. GlideElement methods are available for the fields of the current glide record.") API.

See also [Dynamic Schema](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=dynamic-schema&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).
