EA 14.1 - Global Tagged Value

[xavier_urbain]

Hello,

In our repository, we use a in-house plugin but we don't have the "source" of the plugin. In this plugin, some tagged values are created.
We use Legends and we want to add a new tag values within the Global Tagged Values.

The issue we have is that we don't have the plugin source. Is it possible to have a workaround to add some new tagged values within this plug-in?

Thank you in advance,
Xavier

You can add tagged value type all you want, but I don't think you can make the add-in use those tagged value types.
Chances are that the tagged value types are somehow hardcoded in the add-in, but there not really a way to know for sure unless you have the source code.

PS. How can you have an in-house add-in but not have the source code for it? Seems like a situation that is bound to end badly

Hi Geert,

The person who develops this plug-in leaves the company and he was the only guy who had the source :-( Bad situation we know

You could hire Geert as a replacement.

Now without kidding, I would be happy to help you out, as long as you ask we well in advance.
My calendar is pretty much completely full until the end of the year.

About that bad situation though. Most contracts have a clause that says that all code written by an employee (or a contractor) belongs to the company.
So the company should be able to get their code from the author, as it is in fact their property.
