Also, please file this at http://connect.microsoft.com/sqlserver against
SSMS if you have not already done so.

I tried but couldn't repro your problem. I'm using SQL Server 2005 SP2 on
W2K3 SP2.
I'm not a big user of the SSMS interface (I usually use straight T-SQL) so
maybe there's something I didn't do exactly like you or I misunderstood.
If you want to repost some detailed steps indicating exactly how you get
to the error, I could try again.

Hi all,

Probably the wong forum, but I just wondered if anyone else here has
encountered this, and if so how they got around it:
If you add a description (MS_Description extended property) to an xml
index using the SSMS interface, any attempts to then alter that index or
description result in SSMS throwing an error (property MS_Description
already exists) and cancelling out of the save dialog. Even deleting the
index does not delete the extended property associated with it (duh?).
Seems pretty obvious what the problem is - and also pretty obvious that
not many people actually add descriptions to xml indexes or it would have
been fixed already. Sounds pretty minor I know, but it can be a total
£$%£"$% pain if you've just spent an hour editing xml index
descriptions...
Anyone found a way to edit the description of xml indexes using SSMS? Had
kinda hoped SP2 (or even 2a :) would have fixed this...

Cheers,
Paul
