Automated Column Abbreviations "Person Name" to PERSON_NAME

The best solution I can come up with is a plugin.

Visual Paradigm doesn’t provide functions or keyboard macros, but it does provide the option to develop plugins which can perform automative tasks. You basically need the SDK (which is the openapi.jar file that is already included with the program), an editor and some basic understanding of Java.

I wrote a brief guide on how to develop plugins using VS Code just the other day:

I also wrote a more extensive guide on plugin development a while back which also explains a bit more about the environment itself:

And of course there’s also official documentation about the VP OpenAPI.

Hope this can help!
