PartsLink Setup - where did I go wrong?

Going crazy here so an extra set of eyes can't hurt. I have a 13.0.2 Dev system (empty) and I am setting up PartsLink to match my Prod server for testing. I am admin and here are my licenses since I am linking in this thread: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Issues-with-Classification-Attribute/m-p/926928#M77761

I see the classification attribute on my Part Create/edit screen but Nodes do not show up.

1. Created my string resuable attribute: partClassification

2. Created Global attribute on Part object and added Classification constraint:

I used default namespace string of "com.ptc.csm.default_clf_ namespace" since I am old school.

3. Created a namespace using that same name and a root node. There are some that are instantiable so I know that is not it.

Did I miss a step? Is it possible to clear and start over? I tried deleting the constraint on the partClassification attribute but no luck.

Found my erorr. A darn space. Chalk it up to a copy/paste error.  Deleted and recreated everything and its now working.

    Great eye Avillanueva!! ðŸ˜… Really a darn space!

    Made another rookie mistake about Partslink (implementation), Could be a reference for other people implementing. 
    Once you create the classification attribute you need to add on the Part, from there you need to add as well the namespace (intername of the namespace in Manage Partslink strucuture), otherwise wont work. I've lost some couple of hours, trying to find my rookie mistake ðŸ˜‚
