BTW, q
I confirmed your observation that it appears that the initial default values and order for Project Difficulty, Priority and Test Status are hard coded. If changed via the menu option, including the order, then t_list is used. Value of Category reflects the list, that is:
- ConstStatusType
- DifficultyType
- PriorityType
- TestStatusType
NVal denotes the display order
Do not know how the default is maintained. There is no flag in the table row and Notes is null.

I guess EA looks into t_lists first and if empty (no appropriate key in Category) it takes the default.

Thanks for the NVal observation. I'll add that info now. Will appear with the next release.

When dragging a diagram element onto another diagram EA offers the user the option to make it a 'diagram reference'. Once created double-clicking on the diagram reference opens the original diagram i.e. the diagram reference acts as a shortcut or alias for the original diagram.

Any idea how / where the information that connects the diagram reference to the original diagram is stored?

EA creates an object of Object_Type UMLDagram. That has PDATA1 set to the Diagram_ID of the referenced diagram.

See on page 9  ;)
