A dialog will popup giving you the ability to update the names and attributes of the selected elements.

Press the submit button or “enter” on the keyboard.

The elements are sorted alphabetically and therefore renaming them can cause their position to change with respect to their siblings on the same level of the hierarchy.

The model will set the attribute to the specified value for each of the selected elements. Only attributes which have been changed in the dialog will be set. Any attribute which is left untouched in the dialog will also be left untouched by the update action.
