M-Files Admin - Properties aliases - Bulk update

Claudio_Leitao

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.

    Hello Craig,

    Thanks for you answer. As you said, we're going to use the API to rename them.
    Let's see what we can do Slight smile

    Regards
    Claudio
