Update ACC Custom Attributes ​

Updates one or more custom attribute values on a document in Autodesk Construction Cloud and returns the full set of custom attributes for that document.

Purpose ​

Use this task when a workflow needs to write metadata back to an ACC document, such as stamping a review status, recording a revision number, or capturing a date. The file can be identified by its path within the project or by its URN, giving flexibility for workflows that already hold a URN from an earlier step. The task returns all custom attributes on the document, not just the ones that were updated, making the output useful for verification or downstream logic.

Inputs ​

Project NameTextYesName of the ACC project containing the target file.
