We can link a note to an element feature, but we're increasingly coming across situations where users would like to link a note to a connector feature (particularly the Notes field).
Can we please have Link to Connector Feature functionality?

That feature is already present.
Attach a note element to a connector.
Right click on the note element then select Advanced

Which, of course, by EAUI, is inconsistent with attaching a Note to an Element Feature where you have to click the connector to bring up the functionality.
Also, while it's a good start, other features might be useful.
Still, at least, I can let my user(s) know that the main Use Case (attaching to Notes) is available.

I can use the quick linker to connect a note to a connector (association) as well as to an element (class) (in 12.1).
Also by selecting a connector (where ate least one end is attached to an entity (not a note)) the context menu allows me to 'attach note or constraint'
What I can't do (and probably should be able to):
- Link the note to a connector connector note
In the previous post using the note context advanced menu you can link only to connector tagged values and constrains - Select the notelink when it is connected to a connector (but I can select a notelink when it is connected to an entity)
- In fact the notelink connected to a connector appears to have no context menu at all.
I hope that as Paulo has 'reported' this these inconsistencies might be rectified as part of any changes made.

Hi Skiwi,
Have a look at the bugs I reported in "Bugs and Issues", they might have some bearing or at least save you some heartache.
Also, the "Notelink" attached to the connector is not. It is a chimaera, it only exists on the diagram. It is a rendering of the "internal" relationship held by EA. That's why it has no context menu.
HTH,
Paolo
