3411206 - Custom attributes are shown in the wrong language

In the tenant is no language defined. Our attributes are shown in the setup in English, but if you open a diagram, the attributes are shown in German.

The attributes have been most probably created with an import from a multilanguage workspace. To fix the language, you need to adjust the configuration in "Setup" ⇾ "Notation / attributes". Because the language is not configured in the tenant, it won't be displayed in the UI. You need to adjust it over API or over the network tools.

The following fix method can be applied here, but it requires Firefox, or PowerShell / cURL basic knowledge:

• in Process Manager open Setup ⇾ Define notation / attributes
• open developer tools (F12) and select the tab "Network"
• find the affected attribute and click "Edit"
• without any changes, click on save
• in the network analysis, search for the "PUT" request in the column "Method". Usually, it will be the last entry you see in the list
• with the right mouse button, click on the entry and select "Edit and Resend"
• A new part of the developer tool will open. Navigate there, scroll down and look for "Body"
• Copy all information from there and paste it in a simple text editor (Notepad)
• remove all information referring to any language. You will recognize it by a suffix, i.e. "description_de_de".
• Exchange the body part in the console and click on "Send"

Example what to remove:

3A4%7D&readonly=false&name_de_de=Zust%C3%A4ndig&name=Responsible%20&id=meta-responsible&category=%2Fglossarycategory%2Fd

The attribute's name for the default language version is "Responsible ", the German version of this attribute is "Zuständig".

If you cannot use Firefox, you can copy the whole request as PowerShell or cURL. In Chrome use function "Copy as fetch", adjust the parameters, like described above and paste the prepared request in the tab "Console".
