Title: Is default datatype==int configurable???
Post by: AndyJ on September 09, 2010, 03:24:57 pm

Hi People,

I notice when adding attributes to classes that the default datatype is int.

This is causing problems in two ways:

1. I'm replicating a large domain model and I'm having to reset the datatype to <none> for every attribute; and,

2. When I import models from elsewhere, all attributes are having the datatype "int" added if the datatype has not been set to something else.

Both of these circumstances are causing a lot of extra keystrokes on my part...

I've had a look in Settings | Code Datatypes | Java, and there is nothing in there to indicate why the default datatype is integer...

Is this configurable somewhere?

See the "Default Attribute Type" option on the following page:

Are you adding your new attributes via the Attributes dialog?  Or by some other means?

In the case of the ones I'm working on at the moment, via the Attributes dialog.
