Some properties can have more than one textual value, for example, the Body property of an opaque expression, the Pre Condition and Post Condition properties of a use case. You can use a special editor to edit multiline textual values.

Using the editor for multiline textual values, you can perform the following actions:

  • Create a new value.
  • Remove a selected value.
  • Edit each value in the HTML editor separately.
  • Reorder values.
  • Strip long values (available only in the Specification window).

To strip long values, make sure that the Strip Multiline Text mode is turned on in the Specification window.

The following table describes functions of buttons used in the editor.
