M-Files Admin - Properties aliases - Bulk update

Question

Hello everyone, 
 We created new vaults for different use cases for one of our customers and prepared the base of them with an base structure (export/import from the main vault). 
 Unfortunately, we noticed that the aliases of the properties are in a not recommended String (spaces, accents, doesn't start with PD. , etc...) 
 We would like to mass update all properties aliases but don't really know where or how to start. Do you have any recommandations ? P.S. API Solutions are OK for us as well 
 Thanks for your feedbacks, Claudio - EVOK Altern8 SA

You can update the aliases (reset them to something standard, or add new ones to what's there) via the APIs. I recall several years ago that we used to show this as part of the Developer training. That tool has fallen away now, though, as M-Files will automatically name vault structural elements as they are created. 
 I don't think we have anything official that you could use, but you could definitely build something using the API.
