Move External and the Auto Name Counter

[operaman]

I have the Auto Name Counter switched on for Requirements Elements / stereotypes in my model. It seems to work fine if I am working with the Functional Requirements Package and doing an "Add Element..." from there and clicking the "Auto" button to get the next available counter / number for the (Requirements) Element. However, if I am "Externalizing" requirements from a Use Case properties dialogue window, then the Auto Numbering is bypassed (i.e. the newly created / externalized requirement is created without the auto numbering).

Is there some way to implement or enforce the Auto Name Counter when externalizing requirements from a Use Case properties dialogue?

Cheers!
