Tagged values – miscellany

[A]

I would find it most useful if eaDocx could
1.Print tagged values which are set on relationships
2.Print Tagged values’ notes

They’d be both useful when working with domain model when one wishes to describe some extra info about complex attributes.

(1) will be fixed in v3.3
(2) seems like such an un-natural act on Sparx’ part – to give a Tagged value, which is normally just an additional attribute-with-a-value like any other fixed attribute, some sub-structure i.e. some additional notes, just seems wrong. It blurs the distinction between an attribute (Small ‘a’) and the ‘thing’ which can be attached to e.g. a Class, which is an Attribute (Large ‘A’) which is a thing in its own right. Large A Attributes can have other data (datatype, notes etc) but small ‘a’ attributes can’t.
So what does it mean to have a TaggedValue with a value AND some notes ? Is it and attribute or an Attribute .
Not sure I like Sparx’ design here, and supporting it would make a mess of large parts of eaDocX, so, sorry, no prospect of this being included.
Unless there’s more demand.
Anyone else using TaggedValue notes ?
