Script functions, attributes and objects - derivation scripts for tag definitions
In addition to the standard Modeler automation interface functions, objects and attributes, there are special functions, objects and attributes you can use in the scripts of Stereotypes and Script items. For general information about extensibility scripts, including information about the Studio, Projects, ActiveProject and Dictionary objects that are available in most script functions, see
Script functions, attributes and objects - overview.
Note that you cannot use the Studio object in a derivation script.
To write scripts you require a good working knowledge of the VBScript language, the Modeler Meta Model and the Modeler Automation Interface. WARNING If you run a script that has errors, those errors can cause Modeler to crash and corrupt Modeler model data.

Dim derivedItem Set derivedItem = CurrentObject.Item("Class") Script.AddResultObject(derivedItem)
• Script.AddResultObjects script attribute - for a reference tag definition, adds a collection of items to the results of a derived tag definition. Example code:
