Hey Josh,


I've been reading through the Web Services Manual and I came across this sentence:



The GetAttributeValuesByName operation will return all attributes belonging to an asset type, specified by the attribute name.



I don't really understand the sentence will this operation return attributes for an attribute or values for an attribute?

Hi Karl,
One example is that you want to find out the name of all the pages in the system, and you have assetids from 100 to 150, but not all of them are pages, and you dont know which is which, so you'd put in Assetids[1, …,150], AttributeName is 'name', TypeCode is 'page_standard', and the operation would return you the name associate with the assetid of each of the page asset in those assetids.
