I'm curious.. why would you want an API to do that? Are you really needing to change display names of attributes so dynamically?

[JZ_11553986]

Yes,   we have a lot of atrributes need to update the locale displayname( EN_US, Zh_CN and so on). and we need to do it in several test servers first.

Could you image How to do this without scripts, It's a nightmare.

Hi @JZ_11553986 

What is nightmare?

If you have several servers where the attributes are identical, you set it just on one server and then just export/import the attributes for all types..

Also it can be automated by command line scripts so why do you want write an function that already exists...

CS30168 - How to export and import soft types and attributes using 'LoadFromFile' in Windchill

btw, based on the exported xml you could be able to find an api that can modify the display names. Sure not supported...
