NewVal parameter

[Jeanluc]

Hi,

When EA generate function parameter, it use NewVal . In my society,  I need to code with Value rather than NewVal parameter name. I don't see configuration for that. Is it reasonnable to modify Code Generation Templates to change this default behavior ?

Regards,

There is a bit of a complication to doing this that when EA creates the setter operation, it gives it a name NewVal.  There isn't any way around that at the moment.

However, I haven't tried it, but it should be possible to ignore this name and user Value instead using the templates.

(The following instruction assume not C# or VB.Net)
1. Open the template editor to the operation declaration template for your language.
2. If there is already a "property set" template then select it.  Otherwise add a new stereotype override (probably need to add a stereotype to the model first using Configuration | UML | Stereotypes) and then select it.
3. Modify this template to list over a custom template "Parameter__PropertySet" instead of "Parameter"
4. Create a new custom template for parameter with the name "PropertySet".
5. Copy the normal parameter template to your new one and replace "%paramName%" with "Value".

Without having done it, I'd say that this would do the job for you.
