Within a module, I want to display several attribute values within a single column. The following code displays the desired attribtues in the desired format, except that for EACH object it is displaying the attribute values for ALL the objects in the module.
Object o
string s
for o in current Module do {
s = probeRichAttr_(o,"Object Text", false)
if ( plainText(s) != "" ) displayRich s
s = probeRichAttr_(o,"Imported Requirement Number", false)
s = "{\\b Business Requirement ID: }" s
if ( plainText(s) != "" ) displayRich s
s = (identifier o)
s = "{\\b DOORS ID: }" s
if ( plainText(s) != "" ) displayRich s
s = " "
if ( plainText(s) != "" ) displayRich s
}
How to control it so that it displays only the three attribute values pertinent to each object?
Have tried many variations, but am losing too much time trying to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Try removing the "for o in current Module do {" loop. And use "obj" to retrieve attribute data:
Object o
string s
s = probeRichAttr_(obj,"Object Text", false)
if ( plainText(s) != "" ) displayRich s
s = probeRichAttr_(obj,"Imported Requirement Number", false)
s = "{\\b Business Requirement ID: }" s
if ( plainText(s) != "" ) displayRich s
s = (identifier obj)
s = "{\\b DOORS ID: }" s
if ( plainText(s) != "" ) displayRich s
s = " "
if ( plainText(s) != "" ) displayRich s
Question : Is it better to use Buffers instead of strings? My concern is that any resizing of window, etc., causes the layout DXL to recreate the column.. perhaps many many times, and thus DOORS' poor memory management with strings could be a problem.
Maybe the string issue could be somewhat alleviated by using attribute DXL instead of Layout DXL.
