instances with different attribute values

[jojoking]

I'm new to EA, so maybe I'm just being thick...
I've created a "Setting" class which has three attributes - section, entry and value.
I want to create instances of Setting objects on different activity diagrams.  I want to be able to set different attribute values for the instances.
Every time I try to set the value of an attribute, it's reflected across all the instances of the Setting object...
What am I doing wrong?

Joe.

Hi Joe,

I think you need to distinguish between object state and object run state.

Which one are you using (if either)

HTH,
Paolo

Hey thanks for that!  I used the Advanced->Set Run State dialog and now see what to do!

You can have
- one instance in multiple diagrams (copy and paste as link)
- multiple (different) instances in one diagram (or multiple diagrams)
