Bala, Each sub-class inherits the attributes from its' parent class. The simplest example is that the attribute will be added to every class in the CDM if you add it to Base Element. In your case, you may want to add the attribute to BMC_Sysstem.
I don't like Sync Asset UI. Once, I was advised not to run it but did it anyway. Then I spent the next two hours removing all sorts of fields from the asset forms. Sync Asset UI will add every attribute to the Asset form...and there are many many hidden attributes that you don't want in your form. Instead, for each Asset form in which you want the new field to appear, open the asset form, right-click on it, choose the new field, then move the field to where you want it.
