Use of triggers by substates?

[ErikS]

I'm trying to create a state machine for user interface navigation. There are several physical buttons the user may press, such as the Check button. I've created a trigger for the user pressing the Check button. However, I can't specify it as the trigger for a transition unless the trigger is a sibling (in the project browser) of the state from which the transition starts.

Is there way to create a single trigger and give substates access to  that trigger?

Thanks,
Erik

Sounds like EA 7.x. EA 8 opens a tree view for browsing triggers within the whole model, so this restriction isn't there anymore.

Thanks Frank. I was running 7.5. After upgrading to 8, I am now able to use all the triggers.
