Case Sensitive
Attribute names and values are case sensitive. Be consistent in naming and formatting your attributes.
Ex: "Plan" and "plan" are seen as two different attributes.
If you need to clean up any duplicate attributes, this can be done in the Attributes management section of your account.
Uploading attributes via API
Attributes can also be attached to your contacts via the API when using the 'Survey a contact' or 'Update a contact' call under the 'attributes' section.
