RTF-Generator-Problem with connector and use of Element-Filter
Version: 8 beta 2 Ultimate
Scenario:
Requirements traceability in 2 ways in a table-view (2columns):
1) Child-Requirements left column and the right column the parent-Requirements-Elements (over the connector from the
child)
package>
element>
{Element.Alias}{Element.Name}|connector>
{Element.Notes} |target>
|element>
|{Element.Alias}{Element.Name}
|{Element.Notes}
|<element
|<target
|<connector
<element
<package
=>Connector-Direction: Source->Target
=>Input: Package Networkmanagement with Child-Requirements of Networkmanagment
2) reverse way of 1: Parent-Requirements of the left column and the right column the child-Requirements (over the connector of the parent, but only for one type of Parents)

{Element.Alias}{Element.Name}|connector>
{Element.Notes} |source>
|element>
|{Element.Alias}{Element.Name}
|{Element.Notes}

<element
<package
=>Connector-Direction: Target->Source
=>Input: Package Parent1, Parent2... with Parent-Requirements of Networkmanagment (TaggedValue set to
Networkmanagment)
=>Filter: TaggedValue with is set to Networkmanagment
Number (1) works perfect, because i don't need a Filter-Element. The Inputs for the Document came from one Package.
The Problem ist Number (2), because i need a Filter-Element. The Inputs for the Document came from more than one
Package. I can't filter over the connector-Element-Stereotyp (EA have no options for this), so i add a taggedvalue-
Field to a Parent-Requirement. The Result of the Parents is OK. I get all the Parents i set the right TaggedValue
and the Result was Generating in the left column of the table. But i get no information over the Connector-Elements,
because EA use the Filter also over the Connector-Elements.
Is this a Bug?
A Rountd-Trip for us in the moment is to add the child-Package also to the document and set the right TaggedValues. But we have than the Child-Requirements also on the left-side of the table. This Elements we delete manuel in the generated RTF (it's not so fine).
Until the EA version 7.1, it was possible to specify no package as an input in a model-document element, and instead of the result of a search (fields: Search Name and Search Value). The fields have no more effect, and specifying a package is absolutely needed.
