Title: Consistent foreign key names
Post by: SCAIAndre on January 13, 2010, 01:30:43 am

Hi,
using EA 7.5, what do I have to do to have EA being consistent in the operation / foreign key names?

EA applies a naming convention for new foreign keys / operations between tables, but if I change a table name, EA does not refresh the operation / foreign key name. It remains unchanged. Currently I delete and recreate the foreign key which is no long or mid term option.

stw and online help gave no answer.

TIA!

Regards,
Andre

I would most certainly support a featre request for this.
Having key names no longer reflect their underlying attribute names leads, imho, to less comprehensible models (or laborious manual work to fix them)
