SysML Viewpoint tagged values
« on: June 06, 2009, 03:35:37 am »
The Viewpoint attributes required by SysML 1.1 use the Notes field of the associated tagged value (with the exception of "purpose.") There is also an associated control for opening a popup to type in text in the Tagged Values tab. The diagram, however, shows only "<memo> or "<memo>*" as the value for these attributes, and the "*" isn't displayed consistently (in one case it showed only for the first item in the list, "concerns"), even though text had been added to all the fields. In addition, it takes several diagram refreshes to get all the "<memo>" annotations to show up on the diagram.

Suggestions/requests:

1) Improve tag display updating.
2) Allow tag text to wrap in its element compartment, for all element types with a tag compartment.
3) Use the tag's value field, not notes field, to hold the text for viewpoint attributes.
4) Display the actual text in the tags compartment of a Viewpoint instead of the "<memo> placeholder, as shown in the SysML 1.1 specification.
5) Provide an editing popup for all tagged value text, in general.
