What causes :Name:Name on diagrams?
« on: March 30, 2011, 11:05:57 am »
Hi people,

I'm looking at a group of BPMN 1.1 diagrams that have been created by a colleague...

In most cases the data objects are displaying correctly.

Some however, are showing up with the name repeated, as if the name is also a qualifier of some kind.

For example: I may have an object called photograph, in most cases it looks correct, but occasionally there is a data object called :photograph:photograph.

When I look in the Project browser, this object appears like this:

<<DataObject>>:photograph:photograph

All the objects are stored in the same package, but some may have originated in other packages and been moved.

Can anyone explain how I can clean these up?

Andy

Well Andy,

I'd start by confirming that these names appear in the database and you're not seeing a rendering bug.
