M-Files Admin - Properties aliases - Bulk update

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.
