This is stored somewhere in the registry (AFAIR). Compare the export of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EA400\EA\OPTIONS before and after changing the options.

No, its no the setting for tagged values he is after.
These are setting that are a part of the "Multiplicity" in connector ends and attributes.

They are probably stored in a "style" field or similar.

Oh, you're right. It's in t_connector.SourceStyle as an attribute and in the column t_attribute. AllowDuplicates.

OMG

It's stored in t_xref >:(

Look out for Description like @PROP=@NAME=isUnique@ENDNAME;@TYPE=Boolean@ENDTYPE;@VALU=1@ENDVALU;@PRMT=@ENDPRMT;@ENDPROP; where @VALU=1@ENDVALU; means AllowDuplicates is on and =0 that it's off.

Aaaaarggggghhhhh

VALU what language ist that? Ah! Of course Sparxian. I forgot they come from another planet. So t_xref is now obvious.

Please excuse me for a moment. I have to go out of the door and cry.

Well, a gem is something precious. This is more like something from Pandora's box.
