Color Code Individual attributes?

[james g]

Hi. I now understand that it currently isn't possible to color / colour (Depending on your location!) individual attributes within a class. I've created a Logical Data Model and need to colour code certain columns dependant on which source systems they're applicable to - I'd like to be able to do this at an attribute level, rather than a class level if possible, such as:

EXAMPLE_TABLE
COLUMN 1 (VARCHAR)
COLUMN 2 (VARCHAR)
COLUMN 3 (VARCHAR)
COLUMN 4 (VARCHAR)

I'm sure there are other instances in which this would be useful, but the model i'm recreating in EA was originally created in an old version of ErWin, and instantly shows people which fileds originated from where.

I'd also be open to any suggestions of another way to do this within EA without prefixing / suffixing the fields themselves with the system(s) as this isn't practical or elegant.

Thanks!

I think that being able to format an attribute with an entity such as a class or table is a great idea.
