Tagged Value Import/Export

[ymc]

I'm trying to extend out of the box attributes using tagged values but I couldn't find a way to import Excel data creating elements or export element data into a spreadsheet.
Is there a way to import/export tagged values?

Thanx

The Simple VBA Excel Importer should be a good start.

Thank you

But how can I use this to import tagged values?
I've tried some ways but they didn't work out.

[Geert Bellekens]

I think the "length" column is translated in a tagged value.
You'll have to modify the vba code to get other tagged values to import.

While using DB, is there painless way to import/export data -especially requirements- with tagged values?

[Geert Bellekens]

I think it's going to be a lot less painful to to use the API then to try an import directly into the DB.

This can be done by using the API as said before, and things work like a charm. I use excel to populate the tag values.

If you are having trouble, please do let me know and I will try to help.

Kind regards,

I too am trying to import tagged values for a list of objects.  I ran the excel macro, but it seems to create attributes that are attached to the base object.  That's not quite the same thing, so if someone can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Simple example:

We have a technology (.NET) that should use stereotype TechnologyComponent.  I want to import the vendor (Microsoft) as a tagged value.

Thanks...

Estienne,

The excel importer was indeed designed to import classes and attributes.
It does however also create tagged values on those attributes. (the "length" column).
I suggest you use the excel importer as a base, and add your own code to import the tagged values you need.

PS. If you're unable to modify the code yourself, I guess I could do that for you, but I'm afraid I can't do that for free
