I have converted the Suspect Link Indicators Layout DXL to a DXL Attribute but it will not display the Suspect Indicator indicator in column. Can anyone help?

No it does not. In a similar situation I have converted the "Last changes" suspect link column to a DXL attribute. So when this DXL attribute displays something it functions in a similar fashion as the indicators - showing that an object has suspect links.

I can understand why you would want to convert from layout dxl to dxl attribute because the suspect link columns really do slow down performance.

As you have discovered, the link indicator column cannot be converted to display a DXL Attribute because it is displaying a bitmap image which only works in layout DXL.

The attached code shows how this is probably implemented, but the example does not include functionality to test for suspect links, it merely displays the bitmap.

Off the top of my head, here is one possible way round this problem:
Create a suspect link column showing all changes (or whatever), convert to a DXL attribute, say "yourSuspectAttribute".
Create a new column and add some code to check the value of the attribute to see if it is empty. If it is not empty then display something like ">?".

e.g.
if (obj."yourSuspectAttribute" "" != "")
{
display ">?"
}
