Relationship Matrix fails with "Information Items"
« on: August 31, 2017, 05:00:00 pm »
We have our own element metatype called "Information Item" according to the following (partial) MDG definition.
Code: [Select]
<Stereotype name="InfrmtnItm" metatype="Information Item" If we try to select it from the dropdown for the Element Type, EA helpfully (It's an ironic observation, ) replaces  "Information Item" with "InformationItem".  Consequently, we can't use them in a Relationship Matrix.  Pure EAUI!

Needs to be fixed!

Hello,

as far as I remember works the relationship matrix well for defined meta types. We have used this for e.g. defining own requirement types. Is it possible that there is an issue with the profile? Not correctly defined as meta type or ?

I usually name the metatype exactly as the stereotype (e.g.: <Stereotype name="myRequirement" metatype="myRequirement").


Kind regards,

Helmut

It's a UI defect, .  There is no issue with the profile (MDG Profile or RM Profile) - since we can create a Search that will return the same set of items as the non-search version.  It's EA that replaces the "space" in this specific metatype (it doesn't, for example, do it for the metatype "Information Type").
