Default-text in Comment Templates

In case you want to have predefined content for certain chapters of entity comments you can set default values for the Comment Template chapters. In the sample below a table with headers was inserted in the chapter "Version" of the Comment Template for Composite Provider:

Table as initial content in the Comment template of Composite Providers

When a user creates a new comment for a CompositeProvider, the table inserted in the Comment Template is initially displayed in the chapter "Version":

Defined table in the comment of a Composite Provider
  • The default text is language-dependent, it has to be set separately for each language that is used for commenting.

  • You can also copy & paste the default text from a Word document (in Word you have even more formatting possibilities e.g. for setting background colors of table-cells).

Show Default-text in documentations

The default-text is the entered text in the Comment-Items: 'Rich Text', 'Text Box', and 'Multiline Text Box'.

  • Unmodified default-text chapters are by default ignored and are not exported into any documentation.

  • With the "Show Default-text in documentations" checkbox enabled you can export unmodified default-text into the documentation.

Option to show default text in documentations activated in the comment template

In this example, the chapter "Version" is taken into account as it contains initial content. Thus the table is integrated into the documentation of a CompositeProvider, even if it has not been edited in the commentary itself.
