Add attributes inside custom attribute in c#

Question

I want to dynamically add attributes to properties of a given class, because the project will get bigger and the procedure is totally repeatinglly, something like so :

public class MyAttr : Attribute {
    public MyAttr () {
        foreach(var prop in properties) {
            prop.Attributes.Add([Display(Name =  nameof(prop.Name), ResourceType = typeof(Labels))]);            
        }
    }
}

And use it on classes :

[MyAttr]
public class SomeClass {
    public string Name {get; set;}
    public string Description {get; set;}
}

of course the code above is not a real program, but I tried to make it simple.

Is it possible to do this? or if not, is there a workaround?

Update: I know there's an attribute called CallerMemberName that retrieves name of a given property, but how to get the property itself and add more attributes to it?

I think you might be able to make something work combining the below answers from other posts.

Unless you're going to be making regular changes across all the properties it may just be better to deal with the repetitive work up front. There are inevitably risks/issues down the road when doing stuff across the board like this.
