Type=Operation; in RefGUIDList

[incanus]

Hi everyone,
is it posible to reference a list of operations from classes from the model using a RefGUIDList tagged value?

i have created the following tag, but isnt working.

Type=RefGUIDList;
Values=Operation;

i need to reference operations of other classes in the model using this tagged value, or similar mechanism

best regards

I don't think RefGUIDList currently works for attributes or operations.  (But then I thought that was documented too.)

The workaround would be to create multiple RefGUID tags.

Errmmmm - the Help is not correct as things stand at the moment. I have changed the description of RefGUIDList to say that it acts on elements, with no mention of attributes or operations. Changes will be apparent in the next release of EA.

Sorry!

Ok, thanks,
RefGUID would be useful for the moment

Hi,
Is there any plan to support RefGuidList tagged value types on operations?

I would reiterate my recommendation (from elsewhere on the forum) to just add multiple values of type RefGUID.

By my interpretation this all the "tagged values" in this scenario represent multiple values for the single property. ie. A multiplicity of greater than one.

From a technical perspective it also makes it a lot easier to query the relationships in your model from this implementation of multiple values vs adding them all into a CSV.

I agree with Eve, but it seems to me that it's now actually a UI issue.  In many places, EA aggregates / disaggregates manifold values into /out of lists.  For example the NEW stereotype representation in the new element properties window.  Perhaps a property of the Tag could be: MultiplesAsList=Ture/False;  and EA could do the rendering for us?

Just a thought.
