Relationship: Element Has Text Decoration

This relationship can be used to define decorations which should appear in front and/or behind the label defined for the element type.

It is possible to define several text decorations for an element type. Within the relationship, the following attributes can be specified:

A text decoration can reference an arbitrary count of properties or static values. It is possible to provide enabled conditions for the referenced properties or static values, for example, to tell which static value should be shown in the decoration if the respective boolean property has the value true or false.

Note: Some Linked Element Types enable the label decoration to be automatically determined. This functionality is only applied if no Element Has Text Decoration is modeled.
