The text-field is a *view* of attribute "attname". If you change the value of "attname" (for example, using a macro-command based on command putAttribute -- see http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/commands/ch06s39.html), the content of the text-field will automatically be updated. For example, change the value of the attribute using the Attribute tool and see what happens to the corresponding text-field.
