Title: Two quality of life improvements
Post by: jdoran-anglo on November 04, 2013, 03:49:50 pm

It would drastically improve my QoL if I could change the tags of multiple objects at once, by selecting them in the diagram view and any tag changes applying to everything selected.

The other improvement would be to easily allow hot-keying some of the more advanced functions (i.e. Advanced -> Use Rectangle notation). It would also make sense to expose some of the functions only available on the individual level to groups of the same element (i.e. selecting multiple elements that have the Advanced - Use Rectangle Notation, and updating them all at once).

I use EA everyday, and it is great, except for these trivial things that make some basic tasks very time consuming.

Roger that!

I need to add a tag value to 300 requirements ... had hoped it could be done smarter than one-at-a-time!

1. Export to .csv
2. Open in a spreadsheet package
3. Add the new tagged value
4. Import from .csv

I use this method to export to and import from JIRA...

(We still don't have JIRA connector here)

PS> Sparxians... if you added JIRA connector to the base functionality, I'd be a happy chappy.

While this is a work around, I still feel that this should be native functionality.

There is a quick way of adding tagged values to a set of elements.
- Select elements in a diagram
- Ctrl-Shift-T
