Question

Changing Attribute name


Hi, I am trying to update the name of my attributes but am having a hard time. Currently I have two attributes (BEC: Revenue and BAC: Expenditure) and I have to update them to BEC and Expenditure respectively. I think I can use attribute manager but I am unable to make the required changes. Any help will be highly appreciated

You can use the AttributeManager but also the AttributeRenamer to do this.

In the AttributeManager, click in the Output Attribute field and change the value:

2021-04-13_13h47_57

Thank you for the the help. I can get is working this way but I have a lot of files and am trying to automate it. Is there any way using regex I can seperate 'BEC' from 'BEC: Revenue' and 'Expenditure' from 'BAC: Expenditure'. If I can do that for one I can use the same process for 15 other files which all have attribute name in the format 'AB:DE' where sometimes I need 'AB' and sometimes 'DE'

You can change the AttributeNames this way using the BulkAttributeRenamer, but I don't think you can write the changed attributenames as long as the writer is static.
