## Data Object Description

The ProfilePropertyPath data object represents the path to a profile, policy option, or specific parameter. If `profilePath`, `policyId`, and `parameterId` are all specified, the combination of the three identifies a particular parameter. If only `profilePath` and `policyId` are specified, the combination identifies a specific profile policy option. If just the `profilePath` is specified, the data object identifies a profile instance.
