In an earlier post (http://communities.bentley.com/products/geospatial/desktop/f/5924/t/116655) Jeff Bielefeld explained that graphics "Promoted" to a Native Feature still retain any source User Data Linkage information until they are posted into a Spatial Database Feature, providing you the opportunity to extract the linkage information and assign values as a property(s) of the feature. In "Promoting" existing data, I have run into instances where there are Grouped Hole elements with the User Data Linkage on the cell header component that "appears" to be lost when the "Promote" process creates the Native Feature. When you process the sub-features, the cell header is not included as a sub-feature of the feature.
One solution (the only one I can think of so far) is to "pre-process" the original data, and copy the User Data Linkage from the header of the Grouped Hole and attach it to the Grouped Hole components so it would be available when you process the Native Feature sub-features.
Are there any other approaches or methods to access those linkages on the Grouped Hole cell header?
Thanks
