Problem Description

Attribute not showing in modify command dialog box. User inadvertently deleted an attribute from his environment.  He then recreated the exact same attribute and added it back to the interface.
Now he needs to re enter the data that was deleted when he deleted the attribute.  In pw explorer he right clicks a file and chooses modify but the attribute does not show in the list.  If he right clicks and chooses attributes the attribute shows in the attribute tab and he can add and save data.
He wants to put the same data in this attribute for a bunch of files, but since the attribute no longer shows in the modify command box, he can’t bulk input the data.

Solution

When user recreated the attribute and added it back to the interface he inadvertently used the same label name as one of the other attributes.  The modify command displays the attribute labels and not the actual attribute name.  Once he relabeled the attribute in the interface he was able to see and edit the attribute in the modify command.
