In v9x you can no longer modify the attribute values of a deleted object????
Oh my golly, do I have a problem with all my modify DXL with "for obj in entire mod" loops, which is most of them. Gotta do a better job testing...
Anybody got any reasonable get around for this? Undeleting, modifying, and deleting doesn't seem realistic.

Purge the objects -- then you won't have a problem.

Louie - have I understood this correctly - you've been able to modify the attribute values of soft deleted objects prior to 9.x? This had me scurrying back to versions 8.3 and 7.1 and I could not modify the attribute values of soft deleted objects via the GUI, everything is greyed out which is the way I had always remembered it. Have you discovered some way of doing this via DXL or is this an early Christmas prank?

Neither could you modify deleted objects attribute values in previous DOORS versions. But canModify has passed them, see:

I have always been able to modify obj-attr values of deleted objects with DXL. Perhaps I forgot that you could not do it with the GUI, but that's because I rarely do chores like that with the GUI. Anyway, v9.2.0.1 you cannot do that with DXL.
Telelogic ..err.. IBM says that feature was introduced in v9.2.0.1 and is already removed from the just released v9.2.0.2.

No discovery nor prank. You can easily change the obj-attr values of deleted objects with DXL:
obj."Object Text" = " >>DELETED"

OK.
Tested this on 9.2.0.2 and it still throws the error
"R-W- DXL: <Line:2> cannot modify attribute on a deleted object"
when trying to modify an attribute in a deleted object.
