Is it possible to disable fully qualified object names on a diagram MDG profile? If so how?

I have set the Hide Additional Parents to Ture but this does not seem to do the trick.

There was a way to set some styleex (or so) in the XML. Paolo found that out. I guess there should be a way but I can't momentarily give that a shot.

I don't see this option in the Diagram Profile so you won't be able to define it via the MDG.
Similarly I noticed that current properties don't work when you set many of them:

I submitted a bug report to Sparx with the suggestion to include all diagram properties so it can be fully customized.

Until this is done, the only option would involve defining a script to update all diagrams properties. But this is not ideal for diagrams with custom specific properties.

Don't forget the model template package.

That is often a workaround for things like that.

You could try to manually edit the XML and inserting
Code: [Select]
<Property name="styleex" value="ShowFQN=0;"/>in the diagram definition (within the Apply).

Not sure if that's the right FQN flag since there are 2 of them and the other is a column in the diagrams table which can't be changed.
