Description Navid Mehregani

Build Identifier: 

This enhancement provides assistance to users for setting stereotype attributes.

The description textbox of a stereotype attribute is not scrollable and the label should be changed to 'Description' instead of 'Short Description'.  The textbox should be made larger as well.

This description should be displayed when the user is setting the attribute value of a stereotype.  The context help button should also be available in the attribute dialog.  When users click on the help button, it should provide further details about the stereotype and its attributes.

Reproducible: Always

What information and in what format should be displayed? Will it be an links to static html files or content should be generated dinamically?

The help content will be based on the stereotype attribute that has been activated.

This is looking really good Anton.  Thanks! However, there is one request that's still missing.  When the stereotype attributes have descriptions associated with them, their description should be displayed on the bottom of the dialog.  Please see the attached snapshot for more details.

Reopening enhancement so we can address this.
