Hello,

I am trying to edit a attribute of an element, lets say A which has attribute abc and element B which has xyz, now i want to swap the attribute values of A and B. while doing that its throwing error duplicate alias not found in edit element attibute(manually).

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You have 2 distinct values.
Change one value into 'TEST' or so.
Then, change the other value to what you had previously before the TEST.
Then overwrite TEST with what you have previously on the second element.

You can't have the same alias on different elements at the same time. So use a 3rd helper value to do the switch and solve the deadlock.
