Classifier Tagged Value Types
« on: December 09, 2021, 05:06:45 pm »
Hey all

I know that Classifier Tagged Value Types are listed as deprecated in the MDG Technology manual.
However, it would appear that it is still actually supported by the application itself.
With this in mind, i am trying to understand what it actually does.

As per normal, documentation is fairly light on the ground.
With the only thing I can find being:

Type=Classifier;
Values=Type1,Type2;
Stereotypes=Stereotype1;

I have assumed that Types1 & 2 are UML Types and so created the following tagged value type:

Type=Classifier;
Values=Class;
Stereotypes=Cause;

I then expected that when I clicked on the ellipsis next to the tagged value that I would only be able to select Stereotypes of type "Cause" with UML Type "Class".
However NOT SO. It seems I can still select pretty much anything.

Any help on what the expected behaviour for Classifier tagged value types is super appreciated.

Cheers

Jays :-)

The recommended way to use Type=Classifier; is to replace the word "Classifier" with "RefGUID".
