How to Copy Tags between Elements?

[vladap]

Hello Guys,

I was wondering if there is a way how to copy Tag Values between elements.

e.g. I have 10 devices in Diagram, where I want to track CPU / Memory / OS ....

There is only few differences between the devices, which I would change later . Can I somehow copy this set of tag values to each device ?

thanks

I think you can only do that easily using a script:

Snippet from https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-VBScript-Library/blob/master/Framework/Utils/Util.vbs

Code: [Select]

'copies the tagged values from the source to the target
function copyTaggedValues(source, target)
dim sourceTag as EA.TaggedValue
dim targetTag as EA.TaggedValue
for each sourceTag in source.TaggedValues
set targetTag = nothing
'first try to find target tag
dim tag as EA.TaggedValue
for each tag in target.TaggedValues
if tag.Name = sourceTag.Name then
set targetTag = tag
exit for
end if
next
'if not found then create new
if targetTag is nothing then
set targetTag = target.TaggedValues.AddNew(sourceTag.Name,"TaggedValue")
end if
'set value
if not targetTag is nothing then
targetTag.Value = sourceTag.Value
targetTag.Notes = sourceTag.Notes
targetTag.Update
target.Update
end if
next
end function
