Multiselect broken in select<item> dialog

[Geert Bellekens]

Hi,

I defined a tagged value that references a list of operations.
After adding my tagged value to an element I can select the operation with the select<item> dialog.
Multiselect works with Ctrl-select.
My problem now is that I cannot add an operation from another class/interface because opening a class/interface/package deselects wathever was selected and highlights the opened item.
According to the help file this should not happen:

Multiple Selection

Where an operation permits the selection of multiple items, the Select <Item> dialog is automatically enabled to support this. To select the items, press [Ctrl] as you click on each item. Having selected an item, you can continue to expand and browse the hierarchy, and/or search for items; the dialog retains the existing selections until you click on the OK button.

This is really annoying.

I'll report it to Sparx.

I received a response from Sparx support:

Hi Geert,

Thanks for your note.

If you hold Ctrl while expanding out the packages and elements, the previous selection should not be cleared.  Alternatively you could expand out all the appropriate packages/elements before using Ctrl+Click to select the Operations.

I assume it's not intended that you need to hold Ctrl when browsing the hierarchy to select multiple elements.  I have logged this as a bug to be fixed.

I hope this gets fixed soon as the Ctrl-click workaround is going to be difficult to explain to the users.
