Can't find a way to create an "attribute" as an Entity Relationship "partial key" with a dashed underline. It's missing in the palette and I can't figure out how to get get the label text dashed underline.

Only continuous underline is supported at the moment. I changed this into a feature request.

When will it be implemented in yEd? I'm asking it since I'm now choosing a free diagram editor to be used by companies to make automatic ER to OWL conversion, and yEd seems to me a very valuable option. However, the "partial key" features is fundamental to this end...
This feature is not scheduled yet, therefore  I cannot make any promises about whether or when we might implement it.
I'm missing this feature as well. But I love yEd, great job ;)
Any update? This would be highly useful :)
+1 I'm also hitting the missing partial key representation problem.
+1 I currently use yEd for modeling ER-diagrams. I also need this for key on weak entities. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_entity
Please add this (simple?) feature to this otherwise gread editor.

From the Wikipedia article about weak entities you linked to:

In entity relationship diagrams (ER diagrams), a weak entity set is indicated by a bold (or double-lined) rectangle (the entity) connected by a bold (or double-lined) type arrow to a bold (or double-lined) diamond (the relationship).

(Emphasis mine.) Both of these are available in yEd. Note that the article does not actually explain what that one element with the dashed underline means.

Anyways, the answer to Any update please? I need this feature for partial key representation describes a workaround for creating dashed underlines and even contains a sample GraphML file.
