How to hide the value of a tag in Enterprise Architect documentation - enterprise-architect

Question

I made a custom template on Enterprise Architect that is a slight modification of the requirements template that came with the program. I edited the template to make it that the value of a specific tag will also be included in the documentation.
"Requirement Type: {Element.valueOf(****)}"**
However, not every element in my document has a value for that specific tag. Is there a way I can have that line show up only when the tag has a value? Or have the documentation say
""Requirement Type: none"
if there is no value?
I am using EA version 8.0.860 from Sparx Systems

If you are using version 10, there is a new feature called Fragment Template. You could move the specific part of the document that you would like to show/hide into a Fragment Template by performing the following steps:
Create a new Fragment Template
Configure the fragment, e.g.
package>
diagram>
element>
Requirement Type: {Element.valueOf(****)}
<element
<diagram
<package
On the Document Options, go to Element Filter tab
Click Add Filter
On the drop-down Search On, choose TagValue
Check the Property, set Condition to "Equal To", and set the value as the Tag name
Check the Value, set Condition to "Equal To", and do not set the value
Check the Required, then press OK button to close Add Filters window. This means that if the Tagged Value has no value, it will not be shown.
Press OK button to close Document Options window
You may create more than one fragment according to your needs.
Import the fragment template into your main template.
But since you are using version 8, IMO the options that you have are:
Adding "Requirement Type:" text into every Tagged Value that has value
OR, adding "none" into every Tagged Value that has no value.
You could create an EA Script to automate number 1 and number 2, because those are repetitive tasks.
