link labels don't automatically update
« on: December 05, 2012, 09:43:29 pm »
EA offers the functionality to refer to other existing elements in the model.
The result is a link, showing the name of the element as label.

It is very annoying that this label doesn't change when changing the name of the original element!

What feature are you using to do this?

Link note to element featuer does not include "name"
Orthogonality rules

Thanks for the reaction.

to simulate this issue:

1. Select element random
2. In element notes: right click
3. Create > Link to existing element
4. Select element in project browser
5. Change the name of the referred element
6. Notice that the link still has the old name

This is not a bug but a feature. Element notes are completely independent. Any link is like in the internet. Once you re-/move the target you're not informed.
