Dependancy between requirement and attributes

[OpenIT Solutions]

Hi,

Is there am easy way in UML to show a dependancy between one or more attributes of a class and say a requirement/use case ? I know i can use the "Link to Element Feature" capability, can you recommended any other approaches?

Association & source/target role.

But I don't know whether this would be a recommendation.

Tagged values

You can setup tagged values of type refGUID and limit the type to Requirement.
That will allow you to select a requirement to link to the attribute.

refGUID did not really work for me when using it in a MDG. We had a lot of trouble with that. Instead of the element the GUID showed up when displayed via ShapeScript. Also (maybe this is fixed in-between) the selection did not work under some circumstances.

But if it was working it would be an alternative...

Thanks for the suggestions....it would be best for my users if created a tagged value of refguidlist against the Requirment so they could select the associated "Attributes"....i've tried...doesn't seem to work...as attributes are not listed in the browser (only classes etc)...Am i right in thinking it will not be possible to pick Attributes ?

Actually attribute ARE shown in the browser, and they can be used in RefGUID type of tagged values.
