PRB adding guard/effect to state transisiton

[dmcomer]

Before I send a bug report in, I wanted to see if anyone has this issue or if I simply do not understand the GUI.

After visually adding a state transition in from, say, state A to state B in the GUI I:

1) Double-click the transistion,
2) Add a guard condition,
3) Check the "Effect is an activity" checkbox,
4) Enter a activity description.
5) Select a trigger I have already defined (e.g. BtnPress,
  type signal.
6) Select the OK button.

The effect seems to be a problem and never appears in the GUI. That is, unless I create the effect immediatley after creating the transition, and add the trigger later. Sometimes it works, other times the effect is ignored. Is this a bug or am I simply doing this wrong?

Thanks,

Dave

At step 4, did you select the activity through the Set Element Classifier dialog? It is supposed to display when you select the Effect is an Activity checkbox. You then select an existing classifier or create a new one.

Hi Roy,

No, I entered in the text in the text box assuming the ... was for a pre-defined action (which it apparent is); I assumed the text box would add an action. I went back to see what you were talking about and I see I completely missed the boat on that one. Thanks for pointing that out.
