Hi Lin, If your xProperty is already defined, try setting the set attribute on the xProperty like this: 
Item MyItem = innovator.newItem("Part","edit");
MyItem.setID("xxxxxxxx");
MyItem.setProperty("xp-length","10");
MyItem.setPropertyAttribute("xp-length","set","value");
MyItem.apply();
This code will result in AML like this: 
<Item type="Part" action="edit" id="xxxxxxxx">
   <xp-length set="value">10<xp-length/>
</Item>

    Hi Eli,

    We added extended classifications to our PART itemtype after we had already established thousands of records for parts. How can I do a global update to all parts and set the "extended property value". I try to create a method to update parts , but it gives me an error "You tried to perform "update" operation against not defined Extended Properties". I'm assuming because the parts were created before we setup "extended classifications"
