How to edit Shell in-built attribute values manually
Hi,
The Shell drivers which I developed have in-built attributes like Model Name, Serial Number etc. and some of the attribute values are extracted from the Resource. As you can see the value column is greyed out in resource manager client and in the portal.
The shell driver has not been developed to extract the Model Name, but we want to be able to add that value manually. Please let me know how I can edit the value manually.
Regards

The attributes coming with the shell standards are not changable (in this case, remove the read only property for an attribute).
You can either add some other custom attribute and/or share an idea in the idea box to allow such changes.
The problem with removing the read-only and allowing you to manually set the value, is that if you'll run the auto-load again - it might override it with an empty value again.

Thanks Yaniv
Incorrrect, you can change them if needed.
In the shell-standard.yaml like this:
GenericMediaPort.IPv4 Address:type: string
tags: [ readonly_to_users, setting ]
GenericMediaPort.IPv6 Address:type: string
tags: [ readonly_to_users, setting ]
GenericMediaPort.Public IP:type: string
tags: [ readonly_to_users, setting ]
This would take those attributes which are normally Configurations on the port and make the mutable by admins (vs only being set at time of discovery)
You do want to be careful as to which one you opt to change.
The items above are on Ports and are specifically L3 attributes, meaning they are actually inherited (or set) for the network and by their nature mutable - vs something like a MAC Address on a Port which is generally not - it's fixed.
