found More and corrected some....I could have sworn I did that get-help before...anyway...

Also Missing a few...any Ideas?

++++ NOTE: before I had the "Set-PWAttributeExtraValuesSettings" wrong...so keep that in mind! ++++++++

"Get-PWAttributeSettings" - gave me a listing of all the Attribute values for the target Attribute in the ENVIRONMENT;

"Get-PWAttributeSettings - EnvironmentName" '<env name>' -AttributeName '<ATTR Name>' -Verbose

-------

"Get-PWAttributeUpdateValueTriggerAttribute" - Gets the Attribute name and ID of the "Trigger Control Attribute"
for the specified Attribute

"Get-PWAttributeValueListFixedList" - Returns the fixed list of an Attribute and each value's description

---------------------------

"Set-PWAttributeDefaultValueSettings" - Sets values specified by Type in the "Default value" box of the Value tab (does not like blanks)

"Set-PWAttributeUpdateValueSettings" - Sets values specified by Type in the "Update value" box of the Value tab

"Set-PWAttributeValueListValueSettings" - Sets values specified by Type in the "Value List" box of the Value tab
(toggle buttons set by separate command line flags)

>>> "Set-PWAttributeEditingSettings" - Sets values in the "Editing Tab".

>>> "Set-PWAttributeExtraValuesSettings" - Sets values in the "Extra Values Tab".

>>> Added:

Set-PWAttributeGeneralSettings - updates an attribute's General settings values within a specified environment.

Set-PWAttributeExchangeRulesUpdateFileConditions - Sets the attribute exchange Update file conditions.

Thanks for the help with this, Kevin!!

I managed to get a script running that uses this and it is a big help.

I found for future Reference:

"Get-PWAttributeSettings" - gave me a listing of all the Attribute values for the target Attribute in the ENVIRONMENT;

Get-PWAttributeSettings -EnvironmentName '<env name>' -AttributeName '<ATTR Name>' -Verbose

------- The "Gets"....

"Get-PWAttributeUpdateValueTriggerAttribute" - Gets the Attribute name and ID of the "Trigger Control Attribute"
for the specified Attribute

"Get-PWAttributeValueListFixedList" - Returns the fixed list of an Attribute and each value's descrition

--------------------------- The "Sets"...

"Set-PWAttributeDefaultValueSettings" - Sets values specified by Type in the "Default value" box of the Value tab (does not like blanks)

"Set-PWAttributeUpdateValueSettings" - Sets values specified by Type in the "Update value" box of the Value tab

"Set-PWAttributeValueListValueSettings" - Sets values specified by Type in the "Value List" box of the Value tab
(toggle buttons set by separate command line flags)

"Set-PWAttributeExtraValuesSettings" - Sets values in the "Editing Tab".

===============================================================================================================

The above describes how to get and change most of the settings in the Attributes.....
Are there other cmdlets to change the ones I have under "????"?

(Below is a listing of everything returned by "Get-PWAttributeSettings", broken up by which CMDLet can change Those values....)

Most of the attribute properties can be read and changed using these commands:

Get-PWAttributeSettings
Get-PWAttributeUpdateValueTriggerAttribute
Get-PWAttributeValueListFixedList

Set-PWAttributeDefaultValueSettings
Set-PWAttributeExtraValuesSettings
Set-PWAttributeUpdateValueSettings
Set-PWAttributeValueListSettings

I don't think you can change the positioning of the label/field in the Attribute Layout but that's about it.
