Title: Default Tags by element type
Post by: leonhardtk on May 02, 2025, 12:50:13 am

I've just discovered that each element type has a set of default Tags, that are stored in the t_objectproperties table.  These default tags show up in the Properties panel in the Properties panel but not in the Element Tags panel.  It also doesn't appear that I can add a tag Note to these default tag.
 1.  How can I find out where these default tag are defined for each element type?
 2.  Can I edit (add/remove, set default Values) for these pre-defined tags?
 3.  Can I exclude the non-null default tags from my HTML report?
      - Not pertinent to original question, but can I exclude certain custom tags from my html report?

I'm currently using Sparx EA 16.0.2605

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

EXAMPLE:
add a "Project::Change" element to a diagram, then select the element and open the Properies panel

Observe: Below the General panel is a new panel unique to "Project::Change" element:

<<Change>> (From Project)
Priority
Complexity
TimeTaken
TimeToComplete
DefinitionOfDone     <memo>
Done                      false

These tagged values are actually properties of the stereotype.

You can make you own stereotypes to add or remove tags.
