![]() Answer: Eric I had the same problem so time ago. To create a link attribute you need to open the link module and the create your attribute there (edit - attributes - new). Once the attribute is created then go to the object that has links through that link module, select - properties - links, click on the link, then click details, scroll to your attribute then click on edit. Hey Presto you can edit your attribute. You would think that Telelogic would make access to these attributes easier, then they might be used. Regards John john.stevenson@mbda.co.uk | |

Hallo to all,
does anyone of you know how I can add a new link attribute to a link ? I know how to get to the link properties : Link>Edit Links then click on a link and click on Details. Now you can see the link properties. There is also an edit button. So far so good. But that button can only be used for attributes which are not default system attributes. If you didn't create your own attributes so far it's useless. You also can't use that button to create a new attribute. The thing is that the manual tells you : "You can use link attributes to record information about your links. For, example, you might create an attribute called Purpose which you use to record why the link was created." Sounds good, but HOW you can create an new link attribute would also be interesting... Thanks for help. - Adam Edited: 11-Dec-2003 at 10:00 by Adam Kulas |

Yes. Editing these link attributes in the LinkModule itself, I believe, has no meaning at all. I would also like to point out that the value you are setting to the link attribute is stored with the source OBJECT, so you need write access to that.

A couple of other things to consider:
Link attributes do NOT generate history. You cannot create views using Link attributes (not that I know of at least) There is no trigger that is fired (Thanks Tel-Illogic) when a link is established. This of course could have made it so much easier to create custom dialog boxes to capture the link attribute information once a link is estabilshed because as Louie pointed out "Editing link attributes in the LinkModule itself, has no meaning at all". |

In addition to what you all have said comes that there is a bug within link attributes :
If you try to edit a link attribute with type "text" which has a default value an internal error will occur. ( Try out and have fun ...) The coming days we will send this information to Telellogic. - Adam Edited: 16-Dec-2003 at 12:44 by Adam Kulas |
