[C#] Is it possible to automatically generate attributes on properties?
Hello!
I searched and did not think that this was asked already.
I learned about 'Live Templates', its very cool!
Basically, I have to add attributes to every single property on pre-existing classes.
Scenario - For example:
I have 50 classes, each with 10 properties.
Current abilities:
Currently, I can create a 'Live Template', and going to each individual property, I can quickly generate the attribute. This takes time for may attributes.
Expected Goal:
I want to go to a class, and automatically create attributes on all 10 properties.
Question:
Is it possible to automatically add attributes to two or more properties on a class?
Thanks!

Hi Jeff Ward!
Thank you for the example. I'm not sure this is possible exact as you want.
However, as a possible workaround, you can use the Multiple carets feature. So you can easily obtain a sample code like this:
Hi Jeff Ward!
Could you please add a small sample of code that illustrates what you have and what you want to obtain?
Thanks!
Hello Alexandra Guk!
Of course! Hopefully this helps:

````csharp
// ~~~ Current configured 'Live Templates' ~~~
// Shortcut: opp
// Generated Template: [OpenApiProperty(Description = "SmartTypeByRiderHere")]
// This is the target class
// I would like to automatically apply the 'Live Template' to each of these properties within the type 'SampleClass'
// -- Currently, I can go to each property and type 'opp' which will generate the Attribute - I am wondering if there is a way how I can avoid writing 'opp' 6+ times and can 'automatically' apply the Live Template attribute to all properties on the target type - in 1 action (instead of 6+ actions)
public class SampleClass
{
public string FirstProperty { get; set; }
public string SecondProperty { get; set; }
public string ThirdProperty { get; set; }
public string FourthProperty { get; set; }
public string FifthProperty { get; set; }
public string SixthProperty { get; set; }
}
// Expected result:
public class SampleClass
{
[OpenApiProperty(Description = "FirstProperty")]
public string FirstProperty { get; set; }
[OpenApiProperty(Description = "SecondProperty")]
public string SecondProperty { get; set; }
[OpenApiProperty(Description = "ThirdProperty")]
public string ThirdProperty { get; set; }
[OpenApiProperty(Description = "FourthProperty")]
public string FourthProperty { get; set; }
[OpenApiProperty(Description = "FifthProperty")]
public string FifthProperty { get; set; }
[OpenApiProperty(Description = "SixthProperty")]
public string SixthProperty { get; set; }
}

Please let me know if I can provide any other examples! Thanks for the help and quick response!
