      I'm getting an attribute from a component this way:

      @myid = e.definition.get_attribute("A", "Id")  
      

      If I do a:

      puts @myid
      

      I get the correct value.
      Something like this: 0481e69d-cbc0-4e4c-2c32-e2d2f7932bdf

      And setting it this way:

      e.definition.set_attribute("A", "Id", @myid) 
      

      or

      e.definition.set_attribute("A", "Id", @myid.to_s)   
      

      But all I get is nil.

      What am I doing wrong?

        If you use this code in your script, then what do you see in the Ruby Console when it runs ?

        puts"{@myid}"; e.definition.set_attribute("A", "Id", @myid)
        

        Remember that @myid will probably not be accessible in the Console, as I suspect that it's being set within your own method ??

          ~~Then I get:

          {@myid}
          

          I'm doing it inside a:

          sel.each {|e|
            puts"{@myid}"; 
            e.definition.set_attribute("A", "Id", @myid)     
          }
          

          ~~

          Edit:

          Doh! 😳 It was all a small typo with a D instead of a d.
          Works as it should now.
