I am designing an EDD. I have an element which can contain a large hierarchy of subelements.There is text I want to display at the start and end of the element (same text in both locations), but I don't want the user to have to enter it twice. If it were simply a string, I'd make it an attribute and include its value in a prefix and a suffix. However, it's a cross-reference.
I am currently considering making the cross-reference the first child of the original element and then using a plug-in or script to copy the cross-reference text into an attribute that I insert into a suffix. This solution is not elegant and it complicates my application since I do not otherwise need a plug-in or script.
Can anyone suggest another approach?
Thanks.
