Element 'Styles' include associated Info Panels
As an architectural modeller,
I would like saved ‘Styles’ for elements to have the option to include associated info panels in much the same way that ‘Apply Panel Layout’ will spawn associated panels from an element’s ‘picked up’ style,
So that I can generate, save and apply by default styles for element types whereby I want to automatically expose information about that element, for example dragging a class onto a class diagram could have an info panel exposing a list of attributes identified by relationship spawn automatically in place, or in UPM an activity dragged on could show who is responsible or what systems are used in info panels automatically, etc.
I think this could allow us to make the ‘drag an object onto a page and it’s perfectly formatted for you as peer the notation' thing more achievable and hopefully take away more of the config for potential modellers? Would align to the making the product easier to use thing maybe?

I agree with this one, both for element and relationship styles. If I am working with an OV-2 (just to have an example), a lot of the time I want to expose the content on the needlines consistently in much the same manner as indicated above and it would be excellent to have mechanisms for making sure styles can easily be changed for associated panels as well, without having to configure two things...
