Hi everybody,

 a few days ago, I upgraded to EA Version 15.
Yesterday, I wanted to keep on working on a Webpage wireframe, but I don't see the MDG-specific tags andy longer.
I've learned that, with V15, the handling of tags has been subject to change, but in my version, they obviously don't seem to be where they should.

For example, the "Combobox" control has a tag named "Items", where it was possible to edit the list of items shown in the "Open" state, but I cannot see it in the "Tags" section of the docked "Properties" window.

Where have they gone?

Hi Andreas,

MDG specific tags have moved to the Properties Window.  They are now (more correctly) regarded as properties of the metatype.  Just keep scrolling the properties window till you see them.

HTH,
Paolo

Hi Paolo,

thank you for your kind reply.
However, unfortunately, it doesn't solve my problem, and as I haven't figured out how to upload screenshots to this forum, I can't illustrate it.
I've found the Tag tab in the properties window, but it is empty :-(

Regards,
Andreas

Andreas,

The MDG tagged values have been moved from the tags section to the general section. These properties should be somewhere underneath things like name, version, status etc...

Thanks for your replies, I think I've got it  :).

What has made things confusing is that the (formerly) tagged values are indeed shown in the Properties panel, but they were not "configurable".
For example, you can tell a List control which items it should show, and although I still was able to adjust the active list item, it was/isn't possible in the Properties panel to edit these entries (which maybe is a problem specific to properties of type <memo>).
Bit if you open the Properties dialog, you can there select the property and then edit it accordingly.
