Abstract
Identification of a target object within an object hierarchy is made in response to user selection. The prior attribute values for the target object are then displayed on a display device. Upon user selection, new object attribute values are generated for the target object. A propagation group for the new object attribute values is made in response to user designation of relating factors and the new object attribute values are applied to all objects within the related group.
