I wonder if it's a best practice to share characteristics between Classifications or create characteristics specifically for usage within a single Classification. For example, Classes A and B, each has a "LENGTH" characteristic. My company creates A_LENGTH characteristic for Class A only; then creates B_LENGTH characteristic for Class B only; . I feel this creates a lot of dual data maintenance in maintaining the characteristics. What is the best practice here? I thought data should be entered once and used many but here we are seeing created many times duplicates and used many times.
