In the following example, if dRofus' Reference value is changed from <blank> to "123" and then "Save" is clicked on:

The next time you go to view the dRofus Client, you will see this change:
Editing attributes that are mapped within the active / default Configuration (as dRofus <- Revit):
In the following example, if dRofus' Note value is changed from <blank> to "XYZ" and then "Save" is clicked on, the update will be made immediately immediate within the corresponding Revit parameter Type Comments as well:
Warning title Important Because As the mapping of this attribute / parameter is set up as dRofus <- Revit, an alternative method is available (and it is important that you are aware of this):
In the following example, if Revit's Type Comments value is changed from "XYZ" to "ABC" and then "Apply" is clicked on, the update will be made immediately within the corresponding dRofus attribute Note as well:

In the following example, if Revit's Cost value is changed from "5,000.00" to "7,000.00" and then "Apply" is clicked on, the update will NOT be made within the corresponding dRofus attribute Budget price as follows:
