You can define the attributes that the serialized items may have in the prt_attributes.cfg file.
Note: It is possible to add attributes dynamically. However, adding attributes to prt_attributes.cfg avoids the trouble of continuously having to add the attribute for each item that is created. You can also write a BCE script that handles this, but when you edit prt_attributes.cfg the attributes are always there.
