Can't get artifact's notes text to show in diagram

[david_wendelken]

I'm trying to get the notes text for an artifact to be displayed in a custom diagram.  I can get the artifact box with a page icon to show up, but not the actual text in the notes field.

Ditto for the details text for an issue or a requirement.

Is there any way to make that show up in a diagram?

Yes,

Type Feature Linked Note in to the forum search or the EA Help system.  It's one of EA's nicest features...

I'm not sure I found the right thing.

Are you talking about the ability to create a separate note and "park" it inside the object symbol?  Because I couldn't find a menu item by that name.

I already have the text I want - it's in the text field (called notes or details, depending upon the object).  I don't want to have to type the same stuff all over again - or create extra objects to keep track of to hold the text when I've got a perfectly good place to put the text already.

If I've just plain missed it, please let me know!

There is no menu item by that name, unfortunately...

However, if I understand you correctly, this link [size=13]Linking Notes to Internal Documentation
[/size] (and the next page which tells you how to do it) should get you going...

Thanks!  That solved the problem!
