Tagged Values in Scripting

[Shemuel]

Hello! I'm not sure how I'd use a script (I'm scripting in JavaScript) to add a tagged value to an element.

Basically my script assembles an array of a certain type of element and then tags a value "true" or "false" based on its properties. I'm not sure how to add a new tagged value to an existing element, so that I can change it with this script (if it doesn't already exist).

If it's not trivial to add new tagged values, I could change the stereotype for the element (it's in a custom MDG) to create the element with a junk value for this tag, but I'd prefer to do it through the script.

Cheers,
Sam

Have a look in the "Element Extras" sample script. It has a section that includes code for adding tagged values.

Thanks! I've got it working now!

I beleive there is a JavaScript example that shows you have to do this. Have a look in EA under View->Scripting -> Local Scripts -> JScript - Element Extras Example - line 176 onwards....
