    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    Dictionary := MB.ItemByIdNamespace("Dict_1", MB.ItemById("NSI_1").Key).Edit As IRdsDictionary;
    Target := WinApplication.Instance.GetPluginTarget("Rds");
    Context := Target.CreateExecutionContext;
    Context.Data := Dictionary.Attributes.FindById("COUNTRY_ID");
    bOK := Target.Execute("EditDictionaryAttribute", Context);
    If bOK Then
        (Dictionary As IMetabaseObject).Save;
    End If;
