Title: Unsetting an enumerated tagged value
Post by: kjourdan on June 01, 2016, 09:34:43 pm

Hi all,

I have created a stereotype that has an enumerated tagged value with no default.  After selecting a tagged value, is there a way to unset that value? For strings, references, etc, the value can be unset be either deleting the entry or selecting none on a reference type tag. I would like to be able to revert back to an unset state for the enumerated tagged value in some cases.

Thanks.

Has been asked several times IIRC. The way to do is to introduce an explicit Undefined entry (or whatever you call it). The recent discussion circled around "is a none-value a value?".

Hello,

The GUI doesn't allow you to select an empty value in an enum-style tagged value, but since the actual stored value is just a string you could always write a little script that sets the value to an empty string.

Thanks Uffe and Qwerty. I will add a NotDefined enumeration and update my scripts to remove the value when it encounters this enumeration.
