Tagged value not of type Memo but string
« on: August 21, 2012, 12:19:20 am »
Hello,

I want to create a MDG file with elements that have tagged values of types Memo and RefGUID.

I followed the tutorial by qwerty (http://community.sparxsystems.com/tutorials/extensibility/intro-creating-mdg-file) and everything works well except that the tagged values do not have type memo/RefGUID but are simple strings.

I included the tagged values definitions in the MDG.

I use version 9.2.921

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any pointers.

qwerty

I'm "out of order" for quite a moment now. But AFAIR the memo-thingy is simply some kind of bug. You can overcome that by manually defining the according tagged value with the default properties editor to be memo type. Another try: set their default value to "memo" in lower case. That might turn them into what you want.  

Honestly this is really sick: setting some attribute be making the value a certain string. Same goes for drop down which is stored as sort of CSV in the memo field. EAUI
