MDG Excel Import - FC_Begin

[Gomathi]

I'm trying to import elements from Excel using MDG MS Office plugin.
These are flowchart elements.
I have defined the type information in the Excel and it imports just fine for almost all elements.
But, for FC_Begin, it is not creating a proper flowchart begin symbol.
I exported a begin symbol to understand what type it takes.
It was 'StateNode' type and 'FC_Begin' stereotype.
But, even with this the import is not creating proper element.
Could you let me know what I'm missing?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gomathi

Try setting only Type as "StrategyMap::FC_Begin" as shown below

Hi Arshad,

I tried as mentioned.
But, the import for that particular element is failing.

Which version of EA are you using?
I tried it in EA13.5 and it imports and works as expected.

Gomathi,

Have you checked that you have the Strategy Mapping MDG activated ?

Hi Jon,

Do you mean the option - Specialize -> Manage (Technologies) -> Strategic Modeling?
It is enabled. Also, all the other elements and even connectors are getting imported without any issue.

Gomathi it seems to be a problem with only Begin object from StrategyMap. Other elements seem to be importing as expected. And this issue only seems to occur in EA 14.

Even in scripts its not creating as expected

Send a bug report to Sparx HQ.
