Run script at element creation?

[EAabecedarian]

I'm setting up an MDG which, for instance, provides an element "Software Component" based on "Component" metaclass.
Generating and using that MDG works fine so far.
Now I'd like to create several packages and diagrams to add more details on each software component (e.g. Structural and Sequence diagrams).
I can write a script for this, select each Software Component and run it manually - would work, but is time consuming.

Is there a way to trigger that script once each time a new "Software Component" is created?
And if so, can it be integrated in the MDG?

BR,

You can write an add-in. Also IIRC there's some new scripting feature within EA that allows to catch triggers for On_New etc. events.

You can also use my free EA-Matic add-in to do the same with "regular" scripts: https://bellekens.com/ea-matic/

Thank you both! I'll have a look... :-)
