Question: Can I transfer the workflow-related user-defined attributes from Tekla Structures version 17.0 to Object Browser?

Answer: The internal name of some workflow-related UDAs has changed after Tekla Structures 17.0.  They do not convert automatically to new Tekla Structures versions.

For example, the PLANNED_START_(D) is the internal name of “Planned start of the design” in Tekla Structures 17.0, and the PLANNED_START_D internal name is used in Tekla Structures 18.0 and later.

In Tekla Structures 19.0, you can open a model saved in Tekla Structures 17.0 or older and put the property PLANNED_START_(D) into an Object Browser property template. When selecting the objects in the model, the Object Browser will show the “Planned start of the design” date entered on objects in Tekla Structures 17.0 or older. However, you have to put another property PLANNED_START_D to show the date that you enter for objects in Tekla Structures 18.0 or later.
