v15.1 - RefGuid returns stereotype in addition to name
« on: January 23, 2020, 07:45:22 pm »
When you select an item via a RefGuid link,  EA returns the stereotype in addition to the name of the item.   This is not really useful for the user.  They are restricted by the RefGuid mechanism already, typically to a particular metatype.  Even if more than one metatype, there's no real value in my view to returning the specific metatype returned.  It just takes up screen space and is potentially confusing for the user - ESPECIALLY since we're encouraging them to think in terms of metatypes and NOT stereotypes.  If more than the name MUST be returned - rationale please -, it should return the metatype if there is one.
