MaxItemSpecificsPerItem ( int ) [0..1]
Not used by any call.

This value is the maximum number of Item Specifics name-value pairs that can be used when creating, revising, or relisting an item on the specified site. Item Specifics are used to provide descriptive details of an item in a structured manner.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use MaxItemSpecificsPerItem.

MaxValuesPerName ( int ) [0..1]
Not used by any call.

This value is the maximum number of corresponding name values that can be used per Item Specific when creating, revising, or relisting an item on the specified site. An example of an Item Specific that might have multiple values is 'Features'. A product can have multiple features, hence multiple features can be passed in through multiple ItemSpecifics.NameValueList.Value fields.

Once you know the site threshold, it can also be helpful to know specific Item Specifics in a category that can have more than one value, such as 'Features'. Multiple values can only be specified for an Item Specific if the corresponding itemToAspectCardinality field of the getItemAspectsForCategory method shows a value of MULTI.
See the Field Index to learn which calls use MaxValuesPerName.

UpdateTime ( dateTime ) [0..1]
Not used by any call.

This timestamp indicates the date and time when the Item Specifics metadata was last updated. Time is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) time. This timestamp can be useful in determining if and when to refresh cached client data.
