The following example shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to get an IOrganizationService interface instance.

/// <summary>
/// Updates the display name of the specified column
/// </summary>
/// <param name="service">Authenticated IOrganizationService instance</param>
static void UpdateColumnExample(IOrganizationService service) {

      string tableLogicalName = "account";
      string columnLogicalName = "name";
      string newLabelValue = "Company Name";
      int languageCode = 1033; //English
      string solutionUniqueName = "SolutionName";

      RetrieveAttributeRequest retrieveRequest = new() { 
         EntityLogicalName = tableLogicalName,
         LogicalName = columnLogicalName
      };

      var retrieveResponse = (RetrieveAttributeResponse)service.Execute(retrieveRequest);

      // Just changing the Display Name in this example
      retrieveResponse.AttributeMetadata.DisplayName = new Label(newLabelValue, languageCode);

      UpdateAttributeRequest request = new() {
         EntityName = tableLogicalName,
         Attribute = retrieveResponse.AttributeMetadata,
         MergeLabels = true, 
         SolutionUniqueName = solutionUniqueName
      };

      service.Execute(request);
