Change attribute in search results grid

[dasymington]

Is there any way to change the value of an attribute when it's displayed in the search results grid? You can change an item's flag attribute in this way, but I want to change the value of the Priority attribute and can't find a way to do it. Unfortunately, as the items listed are all of different types, the Priority attribute doesn't always show up in the Item Attributes pane.

Select the search result item and edit the Priority attribute in the Item Attributes pane.

As I said in my post: "Unfortunately, as the items listed are all of different types, the Priority attribute doesn't always show up in the Item Attributes pane."

Then insert the attribute first.

How about going back & adding the priority attribute to the template? Does that help?

Kinook, your responses are usually more helpful than that. To do that I'd need to change every template type I have in my UR database, or insert the Priority attribute for every item that shows up in my search each time I run the search - hardly an aid to productivity!

Changing each template type to include the Priority attribute isn't really an option as I've found, to my cost, that this changes the modified date of every item based on the template. I use modified date a lot in my searches and when it gets changed by UR for no good reason it invalidates a lot of the searches I do.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've found doing that changes the modifed date of every item based on the template, which messes up a lot of my searches.

it does not

Thanks, quant, you're right, and thanks to you, too, janrif. The last time I changed something on a template (giving it a new icon) UR changed the modified date of every item based on the template.
