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>

<add-item item-descriptor="attributeValue" id="MYAvRESBnd">
  <set-property name="value"><![CDATA[/my/Resources]]></set-property>
</add-item>

Step 2: Create "Attribute" for Category names used in RDF.
<add-item item-descriptor="attributeValue" id="MYAvBookGenCat">
  <set-property name="value"><![CDATA[BookInfo]]></set-property>
</add-item>

<add-item item-descriptor="attributeValue" id="MYAvBookDimen">
  <set-property name="value"><![CDATA[BookDimen]]></set-property>
</add-item>

<add-item item-descriptor="attributeValue" id="MYAvBookAuthor">
  <set-property name="value"><![CDATA[BookAuthor]]></set-property>
</add-item>

Step 3: Create itemViewMapping for all the tabs.
<add-item item-descriptor="itemViewMapping" id="MYIvmBookGeneral">
  <set-property name="name"><![CDATA[AssetManager Book general itemViewMapping]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="displayName"><![CDATA[Book Details]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="view"><![CDATA[AmIvDef]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="attributeValues"><![CDATA[includedCategories=MYAvBookGenCat,resourceBundle=MYAvRESBnd]]></set-property>
</add-item>

<add-item item-descriptor="itemViewMapping" id="MYIvmBookDimen">
  <set-property name="name"><![CDATA[AssetManager Book Dimensions itemViewMapping]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="displayName"><![CDATA[Book Dimensions]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="view"><![CDATA[AmIvDef]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="attributeValues"><![CDATA[includedCategories=MYAvBookDimen,resourceBundle=MYAvRESBnd]]></set-property>
</add-item>

<add-item item-descriptor="itemViewMapping" id="MYIvmBookAuthor">
  <set-property name="name"><![CDATA[AssetManager Book Author itemViewMapping]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="displayName"><![CDATA[Book Author]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="view"><![CDATA[AmIvDef]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="attributeValues"><![CDATA[includedCategories=MYAvBookAuthor,resourceBundle=MYAvRESBnd]]></set-property>
</add-item>

Note: displayName is what that appears as Tab Name.

Step 4: Create itemMapping for Item-descriptor in RDF using all tabs.
<add-item item-descriptor="itemMapping" id="MYImBook">
  <set-property name="name"><![CDATA[AssetManager]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="description"><![CDATA[AssetManager Book itemMapping]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="mode"><![CDATA[AmMmDef]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="itemPath"><![CDATA[/my/Library]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="itemName"><![CDATA[book]]></set-property>
  <set-property name="formHandler"><![CDATA[AmFhDef]]></set-property>
