Edit an Organization Attribute

Administrators can edit an organization attribute to:

• Update its access permissions
• Change its code and display name
• Change where it can be used as a search filter
• Add, edit or remove the options available for drop-down list attributes

There are restrictions on changing the attribute's type. For more information, see Allowed Transitions Between Dynamic Attribute Types.

You can edit organization attributes individually from the Organization Attributes page in the Manage Center, in bulk via the Organization Data Loader.
