So my player was asking if they could attune to 4 items but only be using 3 at time. Meaning they only use 3 but being able to switch out and use a 4th. This sounds like it would beat the purpose of attunement, are there any rules for this?
Attunment is used to limit powerful magic items for balancing purposes. Trying to work around that, is trying to get more power than the game is balanced for.

Their character can switch out an attuned item every short rest. Although it might take 2 short rests. That’s the only way I’m familiar with.

Yup, two short rests to change. First short rest to remove attunement to an item and second short rest to attune to the new item.

This thread is so old that, until you bumped it, the last post occurred more than a year before the Artificer even existed.
