Attribute Update after creation

any update about this issues? https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/discussions/2910

It's funny because the issue Steven linked says it improves the attribute updating, but in fact the only thing you can update is the required option and deleting. So updating an attribute is basically non-existent <:1lolol:638463120632709144>

what exactly do you need to do?

Update the size for example (it's one of the most crucial parts in my view)

sometime i can't create new document after updating attribute such as add a new enum variable

also i can't update a string size, what should i do in production if theere some change with string size attribute??

That's weird...that shouldn't happen...what exactly happens? Do you get an error?

As for this, you can 👍🏼 this issue: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/5458

For some background, we didn't allow updating anything about attributes because:

1. it can lock up the table causing downtime in your app
2. it can break older apps that are dependent on the older schema

In 1.3, we added support for partially updating attributes in a way that wouldn't lock up your tables.

Eventually, we want to add more support for updating attributes, but we're still concerned about the 2 points I mentioned

im using 1.3.8 version self hosted, and the bug still exist, i can reproduce the bug by changing enum variable, and to fix that i need to recreating the attribute with updated enum variable

What are the exact steps to reproduce?

1. create attribute, add 5 enum variable
2. create 1 document with node js (success)
3. update the attribute, and add 1 more enum variable
4. create 1 document with node js (failed)
