[Ask] Ask about enum tagged value

[demian824]

Hello Professors,

I have a question about tagged value. I try to create two tagged value with enum type, Category and sub-category. Is there any way to change sub-category list follow by category selection, programmatically?


Thanks,

WonChul Choi

I'm not a professor, but I'm pretty sure that is not possible.

You cannot change the allowed values of a tagged value at runtime.

Can could either

- merge the two into one: eg. cat1-sub1, cat1-sub2, cat2-sub1
- validate/correct the allowed values after the user chose them
- create two separate stereotypes for your categories (possibly inheriting from a common abstract stereotype)

Hello WonChul Choi,

You may realise it by using the TagGroup setting. For detail, see the following page:

Hi Takeshi,

Could you explain how taggroups solve the problem of having different values in the sub-category depending on the selected category value?

Hi Geert and all,

I realised that I had misunderstood WonChul Choi's question. Geert's comment made me reread the original post and found my misunderstanding.
Sorry for the confusion...

Reading the documentation on TagGroups I was wondering.
Suppose you define a TagGroup for each sub-category.
Would it then be possible to programmatically open/close (fold/unfold) each sub-category group depending on the value of the Category selected?
The program being triggered when the selection changes.

I'm not aware of any functionality supporting this.

I don't think we can do that ourselves.
For BPMN something similar happens, but IIRC that was programmed in by Sparx.

And, as usual, the implementation is defective!  If you select Task, the Task Group opens (and the others close); however, if you select Sub-process, the Task Group closes, but the Sub-process Group remains stubbornly closed!  You have to open it manually!

I'm sure if I report the defect, I will be told - "this is by design..."

Sheesh!
