Tag size

[catriona]

Hi,

Is it possible to increase the number of characters tags can hold?

I am creating a logical class data model and wish to enrich the attribute details with specific tags to give me flexible reporting capabilities. Right now I often have to put the information across several tags as a single tag doesn't have the capacity. It would be great if this was a variable as I could just increase the length.

Hope someone can help! Many thanks,
Catriona

If you're using a RDBMS you can simply modify the schema for t_objectproperties (element tags) and t_*tag (the other tagged values) tables. AFAIR EA itself can handle more than the 255 chars allowed per default.

You could try using Memo type tagged values. See the help for more details: http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/9.3/standard_uml_models/predefinedtaggedvaluetypes.html

Use or define tags of type=memo, so that you can type the value of the tag in the Tagged Value Notes field, without any effective limit on the number of characters.

Edit: Hah! Neil beat me to it!
