     • URL - Use to specify a read-only URL for cloning a project as a git repository.
     • Disable GAV conflict check - Determines whether to enable or disable the GAV conflict check. Disabling this feature enables projects to have the same GAV values.
     • Allow child GAV edition - Allows GAV editions for sub-projects.
