Add derived symbols

You can add derived symbols to relation properties, which are already restricted by symbols.

If you have created multiple object content types of the same object type, you must restrict the object either by an attribute value or a symbol, or both. Otherwise, you get an error notification. The behavior of these object content types is undefined.
