Many Initial States in Concurrent state machine

[kenty]

When I validated a concurrent state machine I received warnings that having more than one Initial States were a statechart violation.  It accepted the first initial state but considered the rest as violations.

According to the UML standard: "A region can have at most one initial vertex." (pg 569 of ptc-06-04-02 - 2.1 Superstructure.pdf).  Since a concurrent state machine has multiple regions, we interpret this as: "A concurrent state machine has multiple regions, each having at most one initial vertex."

The book "UML 2.0 In a Nutshell" also supports this interpretation (Fig 8-8, pg 92).

Can the validation be fixed to recognise this part of the UML specification.

I would add my vote to this.

Received a reply from Sparx.  This is identified as a defect and will be addressed at some point.

...and will be addressed at some point.

Or perhaps at some vertex, as appropriate.

Requires a change of state.
