Edit an Attribute

You can edit an attribute to define or make changes to data mappings, attribute type, input validations, attribute name and substitution settings.

To edit an attribute:

1. On the Data tab, double-click the attribute in the attribute list. (Alternatively, right-click the attribute and click the Edit Attribute button in the pop-up window.)
2. In the Edit Attribute dialog, make the necessary changes to the attribute.
3. Click OK.

Note: If you need to change the attribute text, you need to ensure that the change is made throughout the project. For this reason you should use the Search and Replace tool (rather than just changing the text of the attribute in the Edit Attribute dialog). For more information, see Search and Replace Text Globally In a Project. There are also considerations that you need to make when changing the name of an attribute. See Change an Attribute Name for more information.
