Elements as structures in RefGUID tag value selection dialog
« on: August 18, 2020, 12:42:46 am »
Hello everyone,


This is me asking a question rather than doing a test implementation to find out how something works for myself.
I don't need suggestions on how to do anything differently, just if someone knows how EA deals with the following situation it'll save me some time.

Let's say I've implemented «somestereotype» which applies to Interface.
Let's say that in a different stereotype I've implemented a tagged value type SomeInterfaceRef of type RefGUID, targeting «somestereotype».

Let us now say that I've built up a model wherein my «somestereotype» Interfaces are structurally located inside Components. So there's a package, with Components, with «somestereotype» Interfaces.
No realizations, no provided/required, just plain ol' structural containment.

If I now want to set/change a SomeInterfaceRef tagged value and hit the ellipsis button to bring up the selection dialog, what will EA do with the Components?
Will EA show the Components but not allow them to be selected?
Or will it filter out the Components and present all the «somestereotype» Interfaces in one long list under the package?

Many thanks,

My theories are always correct, just apply them to the right reality.

Took longer to write the question than to test it myself. :)

The answer is A. EA will show the Components, but not allow them to be selected.
Elements which do not contain Interfaces will be filtered out.
