Document generation tables and selectors

[GrahamH]

Hi I'm having a bit of an issue using selectors and tables together, as the header row is getting repeated if I use a selector.

I've a package with two sub-packages, one containing use-cases the other containing the actors.  I want to have a one table listing all the actors and some of their properties, and another listing all the use-cases and some of their properties.

If I use a selector to chose a different fragment based on the type of element the header row gets repeated for each element.  If I place the table where the selector goes this works as per the documentation and the header table only shows up once. 

Actor	Type
CSR	Team
Actor	Type
CSR Supervisor	Management

Whilst I get (or I think I do) why this is happening, is there any way around this?

regards

There was a trick that Phil showed us in London.
I consisted of adding an empty field (keywords or something) to the header row which made it not repeat itself anymore.

The "proper" way should be to mark your row as being a header row, but apparently that sometimes doesn't work as expected.

Did you mean something like this?

package >
element >
Actor  {Element.Keywords}   Type  (header row set)
{Element.Name}   {Element.StereotypeEx}
< element
< package

Meant to add, though it's probably obvious, this didn't work for me

Raised as a ticket and it seems there's no way around this.

Saying that, EADocx can do this, but was hoping that the native capability would as well.

Hello,

I have the same problem. When I contacted Sparx Support I was told to call Template selector from Package section - but it make things worse - there's no content at all.
Maybe somebody found a walkaround during this three years?
