It is possible to make changes to the values of any of the Item Occurrence's Instance attributes within the dRofus Panel. This eliminates the need to go to the Item Occurrence within the dRofus Client just to make the Item Occurrence-specific changes.

1. Editing attributes that are not mapped within the active / default Configuration:
   
   In the following example, if dRofus' Priority value (within the dRofus Panel) is is changed from "2 - Optional" to "1 - Purchase" and then "Save" is clicked on:

   Because the mapping of this attribute / parameter is set up as dRofus <- Revit, an alternative method is also available (and it is important that you are aware of this): In the following example, if Revit's Colour value (within the Revit Properties Panel) is value is changed from "Red" to "Blue" and then "Apply" is clicked on, the update will be made immediately within the corresponding dRofus attribute Colour (within the dRofus Panel) as  as well: Please note that this can happen even when the dRofus Panel is hidden.

   Warning
   title Important
   Because the mapping of this attribute / parameter is set up as dRofus -> Revit, changes made within the Revit parameter will NOT affect changes to the corresponding dRofus attribute (and it is important that you are aware of this). In the following example, if Revit's Comments value (within the Revit Properties Panel) is changed from "abc" to "xyz" and then "Apply" is clicked on, the update will NOT be made within the corresponding dRofus attribute Comment (within the dRofus Panel) as follows:

   
   

   
   

   Note
   title Warning
   Just like how changes within the Revit Properties Panel can get manifested without clicking on "Apply" - for e.g., if your mouse hovers over another region of your interface (other than the Revit Properties Panel) andengages in some other activity (or even a click for that matter), changes within the dRofus Panel can also get manifested without clicking on "Save":
