Do we have a simple scripting way to change all/some legend values of my stress plot in Mechanical?

Activate a Stress Result object first
Open Scripting Console in Mechanical and paste the below script, which changes the third from the bottom and 2nd from the top legend values.
Click on "Run Script" button (please note its NOT the Green play button)

#Automated Script
#10 Values for a standard Legend with 9 Bands
#Blank can be input as None
#Order is lowest to Highest.
legendVals = [None,None,1.2,None,None,None,None,None,2.8,None]

def changeLegend(data):
    legendSettings = Ansys.Mechanical.Graphics.Tools.CurrentLegendSettings()
    i = 1
    for val in legendVals:
        if val != None:
            if i < len(legendVals):
                legendSettings.SetLowerBound(i-1, Quantity(val,"MPa"))
            else:
                legendSettings.SetUpperBound(i-2, Quantity(val,"MPa"))
        i += 1    

changeLegend(legendVals)
