Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Help changing Parent on an attribute from one class to another

« Last post by Geert Bellekens on March 26, 2026, 05:49:21 pm »

If the property is read-only (why?) then the only solution is to go behind the API's back.

So update the Object_ID directly in the database, and then do an Element.Attributes.Refresh

There is an undocumented, and unsupported method called Repository.Execute(sqlStatement) in which you can pass an SQL update statement.
Obviously Eve can't give you that advice (since it's officially unsupported)

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Help changing Parent on an attribute from one class to another

« Last post by Eve on March 26, 2026, 02:33:21 pm »

Unfortunately, I am getting the error which says that I "Can't assign to read-only property".

Yep, it's marked as read-only in the documentation.

Attribute Class

I have found threads that say to just update the ParentID of the element to the new parent and refresh both the old and new parent.

It would appear that those threads either had people guessing, or they weren't about attributes. That process would work for child elements.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Help changing Parent on an attribute from one class to another

« Last post by ejafman on March 26, 2026, 07:41:50 am »

Hi all,

Trying to automate (in vbscript) the movement of attributes from one Class to another.

On checking, I have found threads that say to just update the ParentID of the element to the new parent and refresh both the old and new parent.
Unfortunately, I am getting the error which says that I "Can't assign to read-only property".

Any clues?

TIA...Eric

Thanks to you all (Geert), this has been fixed.

Whoever is the admin for our back end repository did not run the script in question. Once I got in touch with th right person, the insert statements were run, and the full list now show up

Looks very promising.  How do we get access to it ?  Are there mode details about licensing model, maybe described as a short paragraph ?

Best regards

Bugs and Issues / Re: GUIDs are case sensitive!

« Last post by Eve on March 20, 2026, 08:42:50 am »

When I programmatically create a connector between two operations, the referenced GUIDs are written in all uppercase in the StyleEx field of the t_connector table.

Then create them the way that EA creates them. This is a bug in your code regardless of what your opinion of how EA should behave.
