A classic problem is all the codes and supporting descriptors that are fundamentally part of the design, but not easy to capture in EA / UML, which concentrates on structure rather than values ...
E.g. I have lists of audit value descriptors and corresponding code constants ... or security permission descriptors
... simple ones could be represented as enumerations within a single class, but more sophisticated entries need to be run time instances of a "descriptor" class ...
Entry of run time values is simply too time consuming usng Alt-Shit-R ...
need a mass entry mechanism like a matrix - rows are instances, columns are attributes ... such a mechanism would should also allow the user to review all current instances / settings for a class ... and import / export
