Customize contents of Diagram Notes
« on: December 04, 2020, 06:55:08 pm »
Is there any way to define what text shall be shown in the "Diagram Notes" common element?

By default, it shows diagram
  • name,
  • author,
  • version,
  • created timestamp,
  • updated timestamp.
I would love to skip the version and restrict the timestamps to the day and omit the time. The manual https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.0/modeling/addpropertiesnote.html states: "You cannot change the content". Is that really true?  :'(

It would be just about possible to achieve something similar to a note link using a stereotyped Note, a different connector than the NoteLink and an Add-In to auto-update the contents, but I'm not sure it would be worth the effort.
