V12: can't check attribute's type
« on: October 21, 2015, 05:58:44 pm »
Before v12 you could click on the [...] button next to the type field of an attribute to select a classifier to serve as datatype for the attribute.
If the attribute was already linked to a datatype the elementpicker dialog would already select this dataype in the tree view.

This was AFAIK the only native way to check which datatype was linked to your attribute. (I never used this for myself since I have this build into the EA Navigator)

But now since v12 the [...] has been replace with the drowdown option Select type.... This also opens up the element picker dialog, but it no longer selects the existing datatype if that was already linked.

So now the EA Navigator is the only way I can see if an attribute is linked to a datatype, or if the datatype was simply typed in.
