Modifying predefined BricsCAD block attributes

[daalgi]

Hello,

I was testing this amazing library, but I've been stuck for a while on something.

I have a dxf (R2018) file with a block created in BricsCAD. The block consists of a rectangle, and a text element centered and sized according to that rectangle. The text value is defined as an attribute called "tag", allowing me to change the block shown text by simply modifying the attribute value.

Now, I'm trying to open that dxf file with ezdxf and insert an instance of that block into the model space. However, I'm having trouble accessing the predifined "tag" attribue. While I can add or overwrite the "tag" attribute with block.add_attrib("tag", "8"), this approach results in the loss of the predefined text format.

Is there any way to access and modify the value of predefined block attributes without losing the original format?
