Why dont the Packages have linked document?
« on: February 27, 2008, 04:58:23 am »
I have the need to enter documentation for the packages. I would liek this documentation to RTF (as in linked documents of objects). The problem is that ,though packages are objects also in t_objects, I couldn't find a way to enter there linked document.
Am I missing something here? is there a way through some API maybe?

Martin,

This is likely a side effect of how EA stores a package. The package is stored twice, once in the packages table, and once in the objects table. This is parallel to how you obtain attributes of a package; some are directly addressable, while others require you to go through the Element attribute to query the underlying package 'element.'

Accessing the linked documents of a package from the context menu in the project browser was addressed in 7.1 beta 2.
