Show Activity notes and attributes

[Filip Hendrickx]

Hi all.

For most UML elements, you can show the notes and attributes via Feature and Compartment visibility. However, this doesn't work for UML Activities, nor for derived elements like BPMN Activities or Archimate DataObjects.

A workaround I found is to link a note element to the element's notes. You can also link the note element to the Activity's attributes, but you then need to create a separate note for each attribute, which is not practical.

Is there a way to show an Activity's notes and attributes, or another workaround?

Best regards,

Filip.

I guess you found the only way to do it.

It would be possible to write a shape script for an an element being filled by some automation. But that's probably overkill.

With an Activity you can set these to rectangle notation:
Context Menu | Advanced | Use Rectangle Notation
Then in Feature Visibility - set Show Element Notes on.
