Setting Alias on MapProjectItem does not retain

LynneB — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 15:38:39 GMT

I'm trying to set the Alias on a MapProjectItem. The code works and the value is set if I repeat the code in the same Pro session but once I exit Pro and go back in, the Alias is back to null.

IEnumerable<MapProjectItem> mapItems = Project.Current.GetItems<MapProjectItem>(); foreach (MapProjectItem mapItem in mapItems) { mapItem.Alias = "DA Test Alias"; }

I'm using Pro 3.0

Hi,

I think you need to save project:

await Project.Current.SaveAsync();

I was able to duplicate the issue with the Alias property not retaining its value between sessions even when i explicitly save the project. I reported this as an issue to the Framework dev team. Thanks for reporting this issue.
