Object state and classifier state machines

[fwoolz]

Under the help topic "Define an object state," EA help sez:

Note:
 
If the associated classifier has a child State Machine element, those states propagate into the drop-down list for this field, and you can select one of them instead.

So I create a classifier with a child State Machine, then create an instance of that classifier, right click and pick until I get to the "Set instance state" dialog (an aside: it would be good if the menu option and the corresponding dialog used the same terminology - minor point) and... the combo box is not automatically populated with the states in the child State Machine.

What gives?

BTW, I'm running version 7.5.847, Ultimate edition, .EAP file repository.

Thanks,

I found out how to populate the dropdown.
If you move the states of the classifier directly under it (iso under a nested state machine) then you get the defined states (only the normal states, not the initial/final state) in the dropdown.
I think there are two bugs to be found here:
1. The dropdown should also be populated when the states are defined in a nested statemachine (since that is the preferred way of defining the states of a classifier)
2. ALL states (including initial and final states) should be shown in the dropdown.

You better report this as a bug.
