BPMN w. 100 activity (dont want to manually ad tags to every each of them).HELP!

[Mezosi.Jozsef]

Dear Forum members!

A question is halting us to carry forward with our EA work at the moment:

Please help with some advice.

We created a bpmn diagram with more than a hundred activity.

For one activity I could create a tag “mytag” which I can select from the tag type list, and later on I can give a value to it (for example in specification manager, after I put in the right coloumn).

However I want to avoid the process needed to manually do this activity/properties/tags select tag process by a hundred times and lator maybe a thousand times if the number of diagrams and the content of them grows.

Is there a way to extend the activity element so that every time I drag an activity from the toolbox it already has the tag “mytag, which I have created” for example? Or you guys would do it some other way??

Thanks for your reply in advance.

Hi Jozsef,

Yes, you can redefine the BPMN Activity in your own UML profile, add that to an MDG and set that MDG to be "active"

seehttps://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.2/modeling/redefine_ster_other_prof.html

Alternative is to create a little script that adds the tagged value to each BPMN activity.

PS. 100 Activities in a single diagram?  That would definitely if I would need to review that. 15 to 20 for a single diagram is about the maximum I allow.
