Editing and localizing an attribute display name and description

The attribute display name is used on the Studio user interface as the default label for the attribute. By default, the attribute display name is the same as the attribute key. The description provides additional information. You can edit both values, and also create localized versions for each of the supported locales.

In the attributes list on the View Manager, to edit and localize an attribute's display name and description:

  1. To edit the display name:
    1. Click the display name.
