I have created 20 attributes, and after that i realize that i want to have all the names of the attributes in uppercase, but if i change the name directly from Generate attribute operator i have to change all the functions that are correlated with attributes.

    Hello @cdaponte

    You can use "rename operator" or "rename by replacing operator" based on your attribute names.

    Hope this helps. Please inform if you need more information.

    I have tried with the rename by replacing operator but i don´t have the results i want because each operator has a different name, so what i want to replace is different in each one.

    Hi,

    i think the only way to do this is to take the XML and do Search and Replace in a text editor as of now.

    I know that this is an older thread, and there is already an accepted answer, however, I had this issue and the above solution didn't work for me since my variable names were always changed.  I created a loop attributes with a rename and a macro variable inside.  Here is the xml using the titanic dataset.  Hope this helps someone.
