Title: Authors and contributors
Post by: Modesto Vega on April 10, 2025, 07:23:15 pm

I think I have asked a similar question before but I was using a different version of Sparx EA.

We have a lot of diagrams produced by multiple people, typically one author/editor and 1 or more contributors. The Diagram Notes element only includes the author of the diagram. Is there any elegant way, other than manually entered test, of adding to a diagram a list of contributors based on the list of project authors or resources under Settings/Reference Data/Model Types/People in v16.1?

I believe in v17 this was moved to a different ribbon tab.

I'm not sure, what you mean by "manually entered *test*", but ...
Model View element (with suitable SQL query) might be useful for listing project authors on a diagram.
