Parameters on call returns on a sequence dia

[Martyn]

I sometimes show explicit returns (dotted lined arrow) on a sequence diagram with a return parameter.
I can add the parameter to the return by typing in the parameter as a message in the return dialogue box.
Does anyone know if there any way I can make the return either pick up the appropriate return parameter for the call - or allow me to select from a list rather than typing it in?

Thanks for the reply - I'm afraid it doesn't answer the question.

What I'm trying to do is link the parameter ("label") on a return to the actual return parameter specified in the operation for the call (which is being returned).

All I can seem to do with a return (in order to put a parameter on it) is either create a new message as a return or type in some free text.  Both of which are not necessarily connected to the original call and do not allow consistency with the call to be checked.

It would be good to have a drop down menu with valid return parameter on it for selection.

May be you can't do it in EA - I've checked the forum and the manual - but thought I may be missing something.
