Define Foreign Key Name Template
Enterprise Architect enables you to customize the way Foreign Key relationships are named by default. This is helpful if you have specific modeling conventions that stipulate how Foreign Keys are documented.
By changing the Foreign Key Name Template, you adjust the name that Enterprise Architect assigns to the Association connector and the Operation that define the Foreign Key relationship.
