    Background

    The description for Equipment in element info dialog is generated as below rule, the highlighted part can be multiple if have different component/nodes: "Class" + "Manufacturer" + "Component count" + "x" + "Material description"

    The only thing which could be edited in ("Class" + "Manufacturer" + "Component count" + "x" + "Material description") is the Material description by making changes to the equipment’s DNA file.

      Note: We cannot make any manual change to the description value from here.

    5. To make it editable, Open Electrical_RCM.01.02.ecschema.xml and make the changes as shown below:
