Display notes for stereotypes in split pane of tagged value window

[kjourdan]

I have created an MDG with numerous stereotypes.  These stereotypes have various attributes.  Notes have been populated for the attributes and the stereotypes.  When I create elements of these stereotypes, the notes from the attributes in the MDG show up in the TaggedValues window when I have selected a specific tagged value.

The notes for the stereotype itself do not show up.  The split pane is in the TaggedValues window is empty. If I click on the element type in the TaggedValue window, the split pane shows the same information; Class (XYZ) is shown in the pane for an XYZ class.  When clicking on tagged values, the notes that were defined in the MDG show up in the split pane.

I would like a way to display the notes associated with the stereotype in the MDG to be displayed.  These note provide references regarding where the stereotype is defined, how it is used, etc...

The split pane can't simply be used to show the stereotype notes when there is no selection. There may be multiple stereotypes applied, which would mean that multiple notes would need to be shown.

When you select a TV in the TV window, the split pane echoes the selected TV's name. It could rather show the notes.

If you read the original report... It shows the notes if the tag has them.

Which "original report"?



As you can see you can see nothing. Just the echoed selected tag. Who designs such UIs?

When clicking on tagged values, the notes that were defined in the MDG show up in the split pane.

I guess that should read "do not show up".

Not sure why you would say that is should read that. They have always been displayed there. The request reads to me as "This is the behavior I like. Can it be extended to this?"

PS. I suspect in your screenshot that you have an empty memo field selected. The name of the tag is a heading that appears before the notes.

Doh! But echoing the selected tag name in that pane certainly helped to raise confusion :-/

Sorry for the delay in responding.  In the picture shown by q below, when I click on "a" in the tagged values window, the sub-pane shows the notes that were populated in my MDG.  I like this.

If there were notes captured in the MDG for that attribute "a", the sub-pane just shows the name of the tagged value.  I am OK with this since there were no notes in the MDG.

For the parent class, the sub-pane always re-iterates the profile::stereotype (name). In the MDG, I have notes captured for these stereotypes that I would like to be shown in the sub-pane.  The behaviour applied to the tagged values within a stereotype should be extended to the stereotype itself.
