{unique} in SysML 1.4 Parts compartment

[Guillaume]

Hi,

I use EA 13.5 + SysML 1.4. On a BDD, I can see the block's parts in the compartment  e.g. role1: BlockB [1] ({unique})
Is there any way to remove this unique info?

I noticed that it only appears when you enter  value e.g. a custom multiplicity e.g. 2 on the composition link to the block (instead of a selection from the drop down list).
The OMG specs show that {unique} for the references compartment only.

In V13 it is not shown.

To get rid of it in 13.5 you have to set "Allow Duplicates" to true in your SOURCE Role.
However if you do not want to allow duplicates, you probably have to stay with it.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your reply. I tried it but the unique is still visible.
It's only when I select a multiplicity value from the drop down list on the Source Role that the "unique" disappears (I wonder if it's a bug)

Maybe the behaviour is even different in different V13.5 build.
I assume it is somehow a kind of bug.

Same problem here using EA 16. Pretty annoying. Not sure why it adds 'bag' to the multiplicity when you allow duplicates too. I am using the stock multiplicity options.

Probably the bag is a keyword from UML  (p. 34 of UML 2.5) where it denotes unordered non-unique collections.
