Title: Add boilerplate text to notes field using MDG
Post by: Polymorph on January 05, 2024, 04:21:21 am

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year

I am aware that it is possible to add boilerplate text to newly created elements in EA by specifying a Project Template package, and then adding text to the notes field.

https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/14.0/modeling_tools/using_element_templates.html (https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/14.0/modeling_tools/using_element_templates.html)

Does anyone know if/how you can add the boilerplate text to an element definition within an MDG profile?

Motivation: boilerplate text is only added to the element if it is added to a diagram. Elements added direct to the brower (or via the specification manager) to not have the template text added!

Thanks all!

I'm not aware of any way to do that. Usually I let an add-in do the job. Or you go the template way.
