Tagged values to association end with MDG
« on: June 14, 2022, 08:15:17 pm »
Hi All,

I have EA 15.

I have created a UML classdiagram profile and toolbox with MDG. It contains several stereotypes with each a set of tagged values. It works perfect for all metaclasses except for the association rol (or end).
The association role is added by dragging a toolbox item with the name of the stereotype.
Two issues:
1) When the association role is added, the stereotype is correctly placed but no tagged values show up.
- I overcome this issue by synchronizing the profile for this particular stereotype and then the tagged values do show up. This works but is very inconvenient.
2) And this is more troublesome, I can't put any values in the tagged values.  :-[. The value field is not editable.

Does any body have a clue?

When I put tagged values manually at the target of an association the value is editable. But somehow they seem to be at a different 'level'.

(I tried to put in an image but can't find how to)

thanks,

Paul

In order to post images you need to place them on a public server and use the link. Welcome to the future.

Here comes the image.



Or this link:https://github.com/Geonovum/nen3610-werkomgeving/blob/main/Naamloos.png

 It shows the tagged value window of an association.

The association TV's are no problem.
The connector target TV's (red line) are provided by the MDG made toolbox of profiled association end metaclass. The values for the TV's can not be entered (???)
When a TV is manually added (the botom one) than a value can be entered.

The bottom one is a tagged value on the connector, not on the connector end.

In some cases I've seen that the properties popup dialog works better than the docked properties window.
I remember those tagged values to work at one time in the past, but that might have been in v12 or even earlier.

It looks like you've stumbled upon a bug in EA.
You can report bugs using the link on the bottom of this page.

Thanks Geert,

I reported it as a bug.

The bottom one is a tagged value to the connector target and not to the connector (I had the same confusion). It is however not to the stereotyped connector target.

Indeed, now I see it as well. The other belong to the group 'Relatierol'
Have you tried the properties dialog?
