Tagged value Type formats

[skiwi]

I'm delving into some old area of the model.
In UML Types > Tagged Value Types


for a defined tag type I see
Type=List;
Values=Undefined,
Reference Architecture,
Strategic Architecture,
Segment Architecture,
Capability Architecture,
Solution Architecture


This type=list is not documented any more Predefined Structured Types | Enterprise Architect User Guide (sparxsystems.com)

Is "Type=List" a synonym for "Type=Enum "   
?

thanks

Hi Skiwi,
That would be my expectation.  It must be pretty old!   Never seen it myself.

An enumeration is a complete, ordered listing of all the items in a collection

I think it is safe to assume that for Sparx it is a synonym

Found a shadow somewhere: http://www.icodeguru.com/design/Enterprise-Architect/create_predefined_tagged_value.htm
Looks like some pre-V9 or so documentation. Funny, they use both there (typically Sparxian, I guess).

P.S. That was V7.0 !!

It's worse than that. The important parts of that example are:

Code: [Select]

Type=Enum;
List=Authors;
Which is reflected in the current documentation.

I don't know if you've tried to create one of those tagged values, but I expect that it will just result in a simple string. It's missing a valid type and it doesn't specify a valid list.

Thanks, yes I suspect that there declarations have been around since before v9.
Another example:

Code: [Select]

Type=Custom;
Type=List;
List=Defect;Enhancement;
I'll update it to type=enum.

Those Tagged Value types are definitely still valid and work as expected.
The only difference between them an a regular enum is that the enum item are taken from the Sparx reference data and can be updated within the model itself.
