The new Custom Feature suppression mechanism (the new custom button on the Set Feature Visibility [Ctrl+Shift+Y]) is cool... 8)
But there's an unfortunate side effect...
If you suppress a feature on a Class (for that diagram), you'd expect that it would also be suppressed on any descendant Class on the same diagram (if Inherited Feature is checked). It isn't.
Can this be fixed please?
Votes?

Am I allowed to vote? If so I'd like to vote no...
I think in principle I wouldn't be happy with changing a display setting on one element and having it affect another element. That's just IMO... (finding an example of where EA already does that is left as an exercise for the reader)

In principle, Neil, I agree... But in practice, since EA DOESN'T (yet) provide custom control of inherited Features, this proposal does least harm. The current situation isn't intellectually sustainable...
Now, if you'd rather spend the effort on adding custom control of inherited features... 8)
But even then, the default should be inherit my visibility setting - which, effectively, is my proposal anyway.

Of course... It may surprise you Sparxians, but (if I may speak for the other posters) we're truly interested in your views... :)
Sparxians' participation in these forums on a more than explanatory basis is, in my view, extremely important! It's the interplay of ideas that will make a good product great!
