Get value of inherited tag value in RTF

[spirax]

Hi all,
Can someone tell me how to get the value of an inherited tag value into an RTF template?

EG. Create an object, add a tagged value.  Now instantiate that object onto a diagram in another package. Create an RTF template to render elements in that package, and try to get the value of the original tagged value.

The 'valueOf' function only appears to work for tagged values belonging to the instance - not those inherited from the original object.

Thanks

Hi,

Element | Inherited Attributes  then as normal

Thank you, Glassboy!

OMG that was so obvious, sorry for that.

However, this way of solving it imposes new problems to my report generation. In my report I have a table that displays the attributes / tagged values of the element (in my case architecture components and tagged values like "Safety Class" or standard attributes like "StereotypeEx"). It shall list the element's values and its inherited values. But I am either in the "element" section or in the "inherited attributes section", I cannot render them both into the same cell.

Anyway, now I know about the possibilites and limitations, so thanks again!

I generally care that they're inherited so I like the distinction.  And as usual with RTF reports.  If you're serious about presentation, there is always some post processing in Word afterwards.  I'm not sure if your problem can be solved with fragments either.  I've never bothered to get my head around them.
