with the entry.
Select "Overrides target entry attribute" to make the value of the attribute
generated by the CoS override the local value.
Select "Overrides target entry attribute and is operational" to make the
attribute override the local value and to make the attribute operational, so that
it is not visible to client applications unless explicitly requested.

You can only make an attribute operational if it is also defined as
operational in the schema.
For example, if your CoS generates a value for the
attribute, you cannot select "Overrides target entry attribute and is
operational" because this attribute is not marked operational in the
schema.
