(Optional). The attribute values to update on the feature (by field Name).
Example Version

Modify(Layer,Int64,Geometry,Dictionary<String,Object>) Method
Modify a feature, updating the geometry and attribute values.
Syntax

Parameters

layer
The layer of the feature to modify.
oid
The oid of the feature to modify.
geometry
The geometry to update on the feature.
attributes
(Optional). The attribute values to update on the feature (by field Name).
Example
Edit Operation Modify single feature
var modifyFeature = new EditOperation() { Name = "Modify a feature" };

//use an inspector
var modifyInspector = new Inspector();
modifyInspector.Load(featureLayer, oid);//base attributes on an existing feature

//change attributes for the new feature
modifyInspector["SHAPE"] = polygon;//Update the geometry
modifyInspector["NAME"] = "Updated name";//Update attribute(s)

modifyFeature.Modify(modifyInspector);

//update geometry and attributes using overload
var featureAttributes = new Dictionary<string, object>();
featureAttributes["NAME"] = "Updated name";//Update attribute(s)
modifyFeature.Modify(featureLayer, oid, polygon, featureAttributes);

//Execute to execute the operation
//Must be called within QueuedTask.Run
if (!modifyFeature.IsEmpty)
{
  var result = modifyFeature.Execute(); //Execute and ExecuteAsync will return true if the operation was successful and false if not
}

//or use async flavor
//await modifyFeatures.ExecuteAsync();
Move feature to a specific coordinate
//Get all of the selected ObjectIDs from the layer.
var abLayer = MapView.Active.Map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>().FirstOrDefault();
var mySelection = abLayer.GetSelection();
var selOid = mySelection.GetObjectIDs().FirstOrDefault();

var moveToPoint = new MapPointBuilderEx(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, MapView.Active.Map.SpatialReference); //can pass in coordinates.

var modifyFeatureCoord = new EditOperation() { Name = "Move features" };
modifyFeatureCoord.Modify(abLayer, selOid, moveToPoint.ToGeometry());  //Modify the feature to the new geometry 
if (!modifyFeatureCoord.IsEmpty)
{
  var result = modifyFeatureCoord.Execute(); //Execute and ExecuteAsync will return true if the operation was successful and false if not
}
Update Annotation Text via attribute. Caveat: The TEXTSTRING Anno attribute must exist
//See "Change Annotation Text Graphic" for an alternative if TEXTSTRING is missing from the schema
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
    //annoLayer is ~your~ Annotation layer...

    // use the inspector methodology
    var insp = new Inspector();
    insp.Load(annoLayer, oid);

    // make sure TextString attribute exists.
    //It is not guaranteed to be in the schema
    ArcGIS.Desktop.Editing.Attributes.Attribute att = insp.FirstOrDefault(a => a.FieldName == "TEXTSTRING");
    if (att != null)
    {
        insp["TEXTSTRING"] = "Hello World";

        //create and execute the edit operation
        EditOperation op = new EditOperation();
        op.Name = "Update annotation";
        op.Modify(insp);

        //OR using a Dictionary - again TEXTSTRING has to exist in the schema
        //Dictionary<string, object> newAtts = new Dictionary<string, object>();
        //newAtts.Add("TEXTSTRING", "hello world");
        //op.Modify(annoLayer, oid, newAtts);

        op.Execute();
    }
});
Edit the attributes of a FeatureSceneLayer
//must support editing!
var featSceneLayer = MapView.Active.Map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList()
                   .OfType<FeatureSceneLayer>().FirstOrDefault();
if (!featSceneLayer.HasAssociatedFeatureService || 
    !featSceneLayer.IsEditable)
  return;

var ok = await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  var editOp = new EditOperation()
  {
    Name = "Edit FeatureSceneLayer Attributes",
    SelectModifiedFeatures = true
  };
  //make an inspector
  var inspector = new Inspector();
  //get the attributes for the specified oid
  inspector.Load(featSceneLayer, oid);
  inspector["PermitNotes"] = "test";//modify
  editOp.Modify(inspector);
  return editOp.Execute();//synchronous flavor
});
