How can i alter attributes via the Api?

i am new to SU and looking for a way to alter certain values for a dynamic component via the Ruby console.

I tried to create codes with ChatGPT to modify those attributs, but can’t progress. The codes don’t work like ChatGPT says and now i am wondering if this is possible at all.

Can someone tell me if this even works?
