Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to object attribution modification and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for drag and drop attributes for objects in a graphical user interface. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for drag and drop object attributes in a GUI can be provided. The method can include presenting draggable object attributes in the GUI, dragging one of the draggable object attributes into a separate target object in the GUI, and applying a value for the draggable object attribute to the separate target object. In one aspect of the embodiment, each of the draggable object attributes in the GUI can be separate and independent from any particular object in the GUI. In another aspect of the embodiment, each of the draggable object attributes in the GUI can be draggable from the particular object to a target object in the GUI.
