EA_Guid of 'current element' in an SQL search

[wivel]

Hi

Is there anyway, that I in a Custom SQL of a ModelView, have access to the EA Guid of the ModelView Element itself? Or is there a clever way of obtaining it tha I have missed? I would like the make a generic table, that can be 'plugged-in' on several diagrams, without having to physically change the EA GUID in the search for each copy I make.

Hmmmm. Would the ModelView element not have a parent when it is added to a diagram? According to the t_object table it does have a parent.

I haven't found a better solution yet.

I did write a script a while ago for a client to create a modelview on a diagram.
In this script I set the correct GUID for the query.

Doing the same thing, but its error prone, especially when handing over maintenance to others. Even if it is well documented, if I have to say so myself .

What I would like to see is something like #SelfID# and #SelfGUID# macros.
