missing keyword dataType when stereotype present
« on: March 18, 2014, 07:44:34 pm »
Hi

When I add a UML datatype to my model, it is displayed according to the UML standard and has the keyword dataType on it.

But when I add a UML datatype to my model and assign it a stereotype (manually or via a MDG profile), only the stereotype is shown, and not the keyword datatype anymore.

When using enumerations, it works fine, this is, both the keyword enumeration and the name of the stereotype are shown.



I use EA 10.0.1010

Does anybody else experience this too? Can I change a setting to make the keyword display or is this a bug that should be reported to Sparx Systems?

You'll find that interfaces behave in the same way. The behavior is intentional to minimize the disruption to user diagrams.

When that decision was made we did consider adding an option for the behavior of keywords interacting with stereotypes, but decided against it because it would just confuse the vast majority of users.
