Hi all,

I want to configure a setting for Jautodoc (the Copyright Header) with Ooomph. So I want to set the value of a variable to a multiline value.

How would I do that?

Regards,

Andreas

That is actually a very good question, but it seems that that isn't so easy with the existing cell editors in the
properties sheet. Ed, do you know a trick from EMF?

Andreas, where do you plan to use this variable?

Eike,

Isn't this mostly an issue of supporting a variable type that will
produce a multi-line field in the form? Or is this really a question
about a modeled attribute, in which case it's easy via the GenFeature
multiline property.

We support a variable type "TEXT" that produces a multi-line field on the VariablesPage of the setup wizard. But I found
no way to specify the (multi-line) value of a variable in the model. I.e. users can enter multi-line text, authors cannot.

I'm sure with custom cell editors we can achieve it. I think the question was more how an author can work around it
until we have better cell editors.

Andreas, is that right?

Yes, I managed to get the value in by recording the preferences changes.
It looks like this in the .setup:

<setupTask
xsi:type="setup:PreferenceTask"
key="/instance/net.sf.jautodoc/header_text"
value="/**
#if($project_name.toString().contains("com"))


It would be obviously very cumbersome to add this manually somehow without a multi line editor.

Please submit an enhancement request to remind us about more flexible cell editors.

And enjoy your weekend ;-)
