Making ID property editable in BCC- OOTB Repository

To make ID property editable in BCC, please follow below steps. We will make Category ID to be editable.

Note: ID property is editable ONLY when item is being created first time using BCC.

Step 1: Print itemMapping for Category Item in Dyn/admin.
<print-item item-descriptor="itemMapping" id="AmImCat" />

------ Printing item with id: AmImCat
<add-item item-descriptor="itemMapping" id="AmImCat">
<set-property name="itemName"><![CDATA[category]]></set-property>
<set-property name="description"><![CDATA[DCS-UI category itemMapping]]></set-property>
<set-property name="attributes"><![CDATA[resourceBundle=AmAvCatBnd]]></set-property>
<set-property name="mode"><![CDATA[AmMmDef]]></set-property>
<set-property name="viewMappings"><![CDATA[AmIvmCatGen,AmIvmCatMedia,AmIvmCatPrdt,AmIvmCatAdv]]></set-property>
<set-property name="formHandler"><![CDATA[AmFhDef]]></set-property>
<set-property name="itemPath"><![CDATA[/atg/commerce/catalog/ProductCatalog]]></set-property>
<set-property name="name"><![CDATA[AssetManager]]></set-property>
</add-item>

Step 2: Create new attribute with value "true".
<add-item item-descriptor="attributeValue" id="MYAvCatEditId">
<set-property name="value"><![CDATA[true]]></set-property>
</add-item>

Step 3: Update the existing item-Mapping.
<update-item item-descriptor="itemMapping" id="AmImCat">
<set-property name="attributes"><![CDATA[resourceBundle=AmAvCatBnd,showCreationId=MYAvCatEditId]]></set-property>
</update-item>

Hello and thank you for this information. I have a custom item whose id is a composite of two other properties which are components. I’m able to manage this perfectly in the ACC, but in the BCC, the component properties don’t show up at all. I tried the showCreationId attribute above, but all I see is the composite key and I’m not able to select the components. Any suggestions? Again, thanks.
