Tagged Value with seg::mented::name, not stored properly on Legend Filter

[Gary Cleal]

Create a Tagged Value with a colon segmented name mytags::xsd::elementtype
(colon separated names will display on their own Tab and Grouping spinner in the properties dialog )
Assign the tagged value as a filter in a legend. (auto color, apply fill)
Save .. it works at first
Reload .. the name of the tag in the filter will be truncated to the first part of the name-segment e.g TaggedValue.mytag
Legend then autocolor fails.

A colon appearing in a tag name would be illegal.

Why are you trying to do that? Emulating a profile without actually defining one?

[Gary Cleal]

So you are saying that if i created an actual technology profile, that I could use the profile tagged values in legend filters and it would work ok?

[JonDurant]

Complete technology profiles don't work either in terms of the Legend filter not being remembered.  Try it with any of the built in ones, Archimate, BPNM, or similar.

In terms of why then it gives some namespacing/scoping/order to custom tagged values definitions.  If a colon in a tagged value is illegal (and I'm not sure why this would be) why is there no input validation on the UI?

Input validation in the UI? Are you also dreaming of consistency on planet Sparx?

Was there a resolution to this problem? If it's not a problem, what is the suggested workround?
