==================== Script

import configparser from TM1py import TM1Service from TM1py.Objects import Cube, Dimension, Element, Hierarchy, Process, ElementAttribute

config = configparser.ConfigParser() config.read('c:/Users/User/Desktop/TM1py/config.ini')

tm1_source = TM1Service(config['COVID-19']) tm1_target = TM1Service(config['Sync'])

dim = 'Country' source = tm1_source.dimensions.get(dim)

attr = ElementAttribute(name = 'test', attribute_type = 'STRING') print(dim, attr) tm1_target.dimensions.hierarchies.elements.create_element_attribute(dim, dim, attr)

==================== the print of dim & attr as below:

Country {"Name": "test", "Type": "STRING"}

Hi @echangcl,

currently, the attribute_type argument is case sensitive. It expects to be String, Numeric or Alias.

I will adjust the function to behave case and space insensitive, as you would expect for a TM1 library. Thanks for the catch!

Hi, Marius Thx. In "ElementAttribute" objects, I found valid type as "STRING, NUMERIC, ALIAS", so I thought it should all be capital... It did work with String, Numeric or Alias now.
