![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Assign a change model attribute to a state in a change model so that scripts can check for the attribute when a change request is in that state.

## Before you begin

The attribute must exist in the Change Model Attributes list.

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllChangeModelsChange Models.  
2. Open the change model that you want to update, for example, Normal.
3. In the Model States related list, expand the state that you want to add the attribute to.  
   The expanded state shows the Attributes, State Transitions, and State Field Policies lists. If another list is displayed, select the list context menu icon
   and select Attributes.
4. In the Attributes list, select Edit.
5. Move the attribute to the selected list and save your changes.  
   The attribute appears in the Attributes list for the state, with Active selected.
6. **Optional:** Open the attribute record and clear the Active check box to stop applying the attribute to the state without removing it.

## What to do next

Reload any open change requests that use the model to see the updated behavior.
