Show property definition
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. rest_method::
   GET /v2/metadefs/namespaces/{namespace_name}/properties/{property_name}

Shows the definition for a property.

If you use the ``resource_type`` query parameter, the API removes the prefix of
the resource type from the property name before it submits the query. This
enables you to look for a property name that starts with a prefix from an
associated resource type.

The response body shows a single property entity.

Remove property definition
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. rest_method::
   DELETE /v2/metadefs/namespaces/{namespace_name}/properties/{property_name}

Removes a property definition from a namespace.

.. note::
    If the namespace containing the property is protected, that is, if the
    ``protected`` attribute of the namespace is ``true``, then you must first
    set the ``protected`` attribute to ``false`` on the namespace before you
    will be permitted to delete the property.

    * If you try to delete a property from a protected namespace, the call
      returns the ``403`` response code.
    * To change the ``protected`` attribute of a namespace, use the
      :ref:`Update namespace <v2-update-namespace>` call.

When you successfully delete a property from a namespace, the
response is empty and the response code is ``204``.

Normal response codes: 204
