BUG: Editing stereotype in Browser fails
« on: February 12, 2008, 10:13:20 pm »
In topic: [size=13]BUG: Get the primary stereotype from one place][/size]  I mentioned the stereotype in the browser was different to the one in the properties.

As part of the experimenting and diagnosis, I tried changing the stereotype directly via the Browser [F2].

Although you appear to be changing the value in the browser, you aren't.  EA adds the stereotype value to the element name (including, obligingly (NOT!), the «» guillemets).

Now, unfortunately, guillemets are legitimate characters for names of elements.  So figuring out how to fix this bug isn't easy, but I can think of at least one viable method.

Ouch!

Big big ouch!

You've now told me how I managed to get something to go terribly wrong in a recent project.

And it seemed such a convenient way to tweak the stereotype at the time...

No, you can't have it!
