Editing a Custom Attribute and System Attribute

You can make changes to the search configuration properties of custom attributes and system attributes. You cannot edit the remaining properties, such as Name, Description, and Data type.
    1. From the Catalog Administrator header, click Manage > Attributes.
    The Attributes workspace opens.
    2. Click Custom Attributes or System Attributes tab depending upon the attribute you want to edit.
    3. In the Custom Attributes or System Attributes panel, select the attribute, and then click Edit.
    The fields in the Search Configuration section appear in the edit mode.
    4. Make the required changes to the Search Rank, Allow filtering, and Analyzer name properties.
    5. Click Save.
Alternatively, you can update and delete a custom attribute using the REST APIs. For more information, see the Update Custom Attribute and Delete Custom Attribute topics in the Enterprise Data Catalog REST API Reference guide.
