Exporting .archimate to .xml (OpenExchange) -> missing properties and documentation for Notes + Groups (view only elements)

[grmatthews]

Version of Archi

v4.8

Archi Plug-ins

No

Operating System

Windows

Expected Behaviour

Exporting a .archimate file to OpenExchange, where there are Group and Note elements in a view, each of which have properties and documentation defined. Expecting those properties and documentation items to be in the output .xml file

Actual Behaviour

properties and documentation elements not present in exported .xml (OpenExchange) file

Steps to Reproduce the Behaviour

1. Create a view in ArchiMate with a Group + Note, and add a property + documentation for each
2. Export to .xml / OpenExchange
3. Inspect .xml file, and notice that the properties and documentation is missing

There's nothing we can fix here because of the following:

• A Note doesn't have a Documentation field so that can't be exported
• Documentation for a Group is actually exported
• The Exchange Format currently doesn't support Properties on the visual nodes like Groups and Notes

I'll close this one.
