First things first. You need to get used to basics (and some of EAUI - EA Unique Interface) before grabbing the more advanced stuff. I still think that EA is one of the best tools for UML - compared to the rest which is, well, lousy, super expensive, or both. However, EA could be sooo much better. But that's another story.

Thank you for the advice qwerty. I will  :)

After several trials, I observed that I am encountering this issue when using the "Strategy Map” profile. Please see the screenshot in the link and let me know what you think.

It's pretty simple. A «Mission» element is not supposed to have attributes, and thus the shape is not showing attribute on the diagram.

The exact same thing happens when you add atributes to a Use Case or an Activity.

This is what I suspected after a lot of research. Thank you so much, Geert for confirming my suspicion. It was really driving me crazy.

Is there a source that refrerences which Features (attributes, operations, properties) can be shown on which elements?

Thank you so much.

Each modelling language (UML, SysML, BPMN, ArchiMate) has it's own syntax that is usually specified in some kind of official document available on the site of the organization that maintains that standard.
See the sites of OMG, The Open Group, etc..

Some of the MDG's might be Sparx inventions that don't have that type of documentation at all.
But there doesn't exist a single source that contains the rules for all of them.
