Classifier as attribute type
« on: October 29, 2013, 06:09:38 pm »
Hi!

If you select a classifier as the type of an attribute, EA does two things: it writes the classifier's name into the attribute's type (which is shown in diagrams), and it stores a reference to the classifier's object ID in t_attribute.Classifier.

If you then change the classifier's name, the attribute type is not updated to reflect this. Is there a reason for this? It would make more sense to me if the attribute type reflected the classifier's name.

Cheers,

It is doing it for me, but I did see one instance where it didn't appear to initially.

Reproduced here. It only seems to be a problem with newly created classes/attributes.

Yes please. It'll get a higher priority than if I report it ;)

Just for the records: will the priority increase if multiple users report the same issue?
