Hi,

I have just started using sparx 15, and perhaps I am still missing something.
So in 14, I can click on the element on the diagram and see Element Properties window (Name, Type , ... ) and at the same time Tagged Value window with all tags.
Now in version 15, I can't find a way to have a separate window for Element Properties and Tagged Values. All I have is a Property windows with Element and Tags tabs.
So as I click on the elements on the diagram, I am forced to click all the time in Properties and flip between Element and Tags tab.

Am I missing some obvious way to accomplish functionality from v14?
Screenshots available on request.

Cheers

No, that's it, you are not missing anything.

This isn't an issue for tagged values defined in an MDG as they appear in the same properties window (e.g. BPMN tagged values)

Thanks Geert,

We have 2 use cases.
1. Models which we can't change with a lot of unprofiled tags. It would be very convenient to see stereotype, object_type and tagged values without additional clik.
2. Models with majority of the tags out of MDG and only some tags added manually. Here the stereotype and object_type are obvious, so we switch to Tags once and are done.

Is there a plugin to overcome this little usability regression?
I mean even a windows which shows us the values without an ability to edit would be an improvement.

I think EAForms sort of did something similar, but I'm not sure if that add-in is still available.

Other then that, I guess it would be fairly easy to write an add-in replicates the old tagged values window.
