Hi,
I think you will have to develop two reports. One report creates an excel file with GUID and attributes of the objecfts/models to be updated, which is used to collect the changes. The other report reads the updated template, search the object/item with GUID and change their attribute value.

Hi Mugda,
Following Will's post, there are also 2 standard reports in ARIS Architect which will help you just do that:- Export attribute values for translation (ran at group level)
- Import translated attributes (ran at db level)
Generally the first report is used to translate attributes to different languages. However, you can also use it to update your source language.
In order to do that, in the wizard you first need to select 2 different languages (for source & target; source can be your default language.
Secondly, once your file opens in excel, you must copy the source language attribute value (located in cell F2 of the excel (e.g 1033 for English) also to the target value (cell G2 in the excel).
Lastly, you need to make sure that every cell in the target language has an entry, even if it is the same entry. If you leave it blank, it will update your attribute with a blank value.
The better option is of course to delete any rows of attributes that you don't want to update.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Rowdy
