Hello,

I am trying to set OIR for a WTpart.
I want to get the name from an Enumerated List assigned to an attribute GROUP.
When I create the part I get is the Internal name of the attribute (see part of the code bellow).

My question is how I get the display name of that attribute.

......
<AttrValue id="name" algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.BooleanBranch">
<Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.EqualsTest">
<Attr id="genericType"/>
<Arg>variant</Arg>
</Value>

<Value algorithm="wt.generic.rule.VariantNameGenerator">
<Arg>{GEN:wt.enterprise.SequenceGenerator:variantnameseq:20:0}</Arg>
</Value>
<Value algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.StringConstant"
<Attr id="IBA|GROUP"/>
</Value>
</AttrValue>

Thanks in advance

Hi @IF_10340601

You can not use display name in OIR.

But you can set the enumeration to the target parameter, and then you can set the display name based on the internal name.

Hello @IF_10340601

Refer to https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS371781

Not part of Windchill PDMLink functionality
You can refer to Product Ideas @ PTC Community and consider posting a new one.
Use Internal Names in OIR as Display Name could be duplicate which may cause discrepancy in the system. Also Display Names could be changed later with Localize option and OIR may not find the required name. Hence using Display Names in OIR is not supported in Windchill
