How to edit a block without affecting others

Anonymous — Tue, 10 Apr 2018 15:22:25 GMT

Hello.

I need to modify a particular block with attributes from a series of copied blocks (with attributes).

How can I modify it without affecting the otrher blocks?

I thought of renaming one block to make it different from the original, but I ended changing the name of all the blocks. Maybe is just doing it the wrong name, thats why I ask, I don't want to affect the attributes so I'm sure Exploit will make it worst.

You can BURST it, and the Attributes will become Text/Mtext with their text values, rather than revert to Attdefs with their tag values as they would from EXPLODE.

Or, depending on the nature of what you want different about it, you could use a Dynamic Block.
