Lock owned elements as well
« on: September 08, 2015, 05:15:08 pm »
When using security in EA locking a package will lock all directly owned elements, and will request if it needs to lock owned packages as well.

Unfortunately this same behavior doesn't happen when locking an element. If an element has owned elements then you have to lock them one by one manually (which can be quite cumbersome)

I would like EA to automatically lock all owned elements when locking an element, or at least give me the option.

Change request sent to Sparx

Same with diagram elements:

I wish EA had an option "Lock own/child elements" and when I lock diagram (by moving an element) all diagrams element should be locked.
