Title: Usage of Supported Attributes
Post by: semmel on October 09, 2007, 07:27:35 am

Hi,
I am trying to use the Metatype Attribute _defaultDiagramType
with the Type = String
and the initial Value = Logical

its not working what ever I try.

Has someone experience in using these Attributes in a Profile and can give me a hint ?

regards
Martin

Make sure you've added the attribute to the metaclass, not the stereotype.  Then it won't create automatically unless you have also set _makeComposite as true.

That's what I already did, but nevertheless I get some strande behavior. If I only added _makeComposite it works fine creating a diagram, but its a composite diagram. If I additionally add the _defaultDiagramType, no diagram is created any longer. Only the composite flag in the created element is set. ?

The DateTime type is also not functioning when used in a stereotype Profile. But this is functioning when just creating a new Tagged value via Settings/UML/TaggedValueTypes dialog.

Martin,

Please raise formal bug reports on each of these defects, just as you've explained them.

Search my recent posts for a best practice we use to issue bug reports or feature requests and keep both Sparx and the user community in the loop.

Martin, when reporting your bug to Sparx, please attach either a screenshot of your profile diagram or an XMI export of your profile package. These will help to reproduce the problem. Cheers :)
