Creating a citation attribute

I want to create a new citation attribute using SuperTool but I missed something. I tried this but it doesn’t work; supertool does what i ask with no errors but when I next try to access the citation Gramps gives me an error

Citation SuperTool code

from gramps.gen.lib import Attribute, AttributeType

url = 'http://test.com/'
attr = Attribute()
attr_type = AttributeType()

attr_type.set('URL')

attr.set_type(attr_type)
attr.set_value(url)

citation.add_attribute(attr)

Gramps error after previous change is done:

I suppose I’m not using attribute creation properly but I don’t know where.
Could you help me? Thanks.

The only error I see immediately is that you are not using SrcAttribute and SrcAttributeType, which are the correct ones to use in Citations.
