Maybe. But there's no market place for such things. You can define auto-numbers in EA, but it's a bit limited (Project/Settings/Auto...).

Hi,

the open source hoTools supports auto numbering for arbitrary types and stereotypes. See: https://github.com/Helmut-Ortmann/EnterpriseArchitect_hoTools/wiki/AutoNumber

Best regards,

@Helmut Ortmann, Thanks a lot. Great tool and works like a charm.

For Drag and Drop functionality it works only for default stereotypes defined in EA, for example NonFunctionalRequirements, but Drag and Drop will not work for non-default stereotype such as <HighLevel>Requirement because it stereotype is changed to HighLevel after element creation.

Using the Specs menu to apply for all model, it works but this require run it each time a new requirement with that specific stereotype is added.

Is there a way to handle this for example
- Define MDG for requirements with specific stereotype
- Set keyboard shortcut to run Spec Auto Name commands

Thanks a lot for great efforts
