    Error - The value of Attribute_Text is invalid

      Product(s): Promis.e, Bentley Substation
      Version(s): through 08.11.13.140
      Environment: N\A
      Area: Component Management
      Subarea: Parts Database

    Error or Warning Message

    When clicking Apply, OK, Filter, or other buttons on Parts Database Manager, the following message or similar appears:

    Warning
    The value of Attribute_Text is invalid

    Explanation

    This message usually means one of the following related to the part number record being viewed/modified:

    • The Attribute_Text field contains an attribute that does not exist. For example, the field contains MyAttribute:123 but there is no MyAttribute attribute in Options > System Options > Symbol Text Sharing. This can happen when the attribute is deleted from the system (this is done in Create Symbol) or a Multi_Lanuage_UI.mdb file that does not contain the attribute is now being used. This can also happen when a mistake is made while directly typing into the Attribute_Text field instead of using the [...] button to pick from the list of available attributes.
    • The Attribute_Text field contains an attribute with no value assigned. For example, the field contains MyAttribute: instead of MyAttribute:123.
    • The Attribute_Text field contains incorrect syntax. The correct syntax is
      <attribute1 name>:<value>;<attribute2 name>:<value>
      So Ratio:480:120 is not valid syntax (the value cannot contain separator characters colon or semicolon).

    How to Avoid

    Option 1

    1. Make sure the attributes exist.
      Check Options > System Options > Symbol Text Sharing to make sure all attributes specified in the Attribute_Text field exist. If any do not exist, remove them from the field or add them to the system by adding them in the Specify Attributes step of Create Symbol or using the correct Multi_Lanuage_UI.mdb file. The Multi_Lanuage_UI.mdb is specified in Language Database field on Setup > System Paths. The setup configuration may be pointing to the wrong instance of Multi_Lanuage_UI.mdb.
    2. Make sure each specified attribute has a value.
    3. Make sure proper syntax is used. See the Explanation section above.

    Option 2

    1. With the problem part number record displayed in Parts Database Manager, take a screenshot of the contents of the Attribute_Text field.
    2. Delete the contents of the Attribute Text field.
    3. Click the ellipsis button [...] near the Attribute_Text field and add the attributes and values back again. This will reveal any attributes that are missing from the system and help with correct syntax.
    4. If any necessary attributes are not listed on the Attributes dialog, add them to the system in the Specify Attributes step of Create Symbol or use the correct Multi_Lanuage_UI.mdb file. The Multi_Lanuage_UI.mdb is specified in Language Database field on Setup > System Paths. The setup configuration may be pointing to the wrong instance of Multi_Lanuage_UI.mdb.
