How to get custom properties?

Hi,

The elements in our website have some custom properties that cannot be found in TC, how can I get them in script?

I want to fill a field but I don't know which type it is. So I want to write a if-else statement to check the properties of every element.

For example, this field has the property "mask", and I have to fill it as "123-45-6789". But I can't do this if I don't get this custom property.

Is this possible to work? Thank you!

Here's an example,
You can use hasAttribute() and getAttribute() methods.

Now I have a new issue, not all of the elements have these attributes.
I want to do it like:
If element has the specific attribute:
element.SetText()
How should I write the if-statement?
It has error when I simply write:
if(ele.attribute == true):
It also has error if I use the attribute no matter it exist or not.
Log.Message(VarToStr(ele.mask))

  I think I should get the attributes list, then verify if the specific one exist in the list or not.
  But how to get the list in script?
