[gme-users] How SetAttribute may fail

[Jane Lin]

Thanks. But the reason on my side is the attribute name, which I just found 
out. The attribute name shown in the model open in GME is a prompt name, not 
exactly the name defined in its meta-model. When I wrote the interpreter, I 
should have used the attribute name defined in its meta-model instead of its 
prompt name.

It took me some time to debug this because the meta-model is defined by 
others and BON didn't give very helpful error message.
