State entry/do/exit limited to 1 in EA 14?
« on: January 15, 2019, 08:09:33 am »
I have  an existing (EA 13.5) model where some of my states have more than one entry action. In EA 14 though, although the multiple entry/action enties display on diagrams correctly the feature&properties->operations page now only shows the first entry in each case. Removing the entry reveals then next one in the list etc. but there's no way to add more than one anymore as far as I can tell. What I'm struggling to find out is whether this is a bug or Sparx tightening up the UML specs i.e. does the UML metamodel specify a 0..1 multiplicity for entry/do/exit actions?

It's tightening on the UML specifications.

You can still get to the old way if you enable Start | View | Visual Style | Prefer Property Dialogs

You can also enter more than one action per category the old way through Design/(Element)Features/Features Dialog. Hopefully they'll keep that around.
