Title: Using Enums in Structured Tagged Value types does not work
Post by: PeterHeintz on July 12, 2016, 08:32:09 pm

I defined a structured tagged values as shown here:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/12.1/building_models/add_structured_tagged_value_cl.html

Instead of using a string I used an enum for each tag in the structure.

However the enum is treated as a string (The user cannot select the items of the enum).

In EA documentation is written that the tag must be simple (whatever simple is).
I assume not working enums is a bug.
(I used V12 .0.2015)

I guess an enum is not simple.

Hi Peter,

One could class it as a bug.  Having had a look at the generated XML, it's not what I would expect (but I don;t live on planet Sparx).

I think the issue is related to my recent posting on Tagged Value re-use.  You MAY have a work-around by creating General TVs with the name of your enumerations and hjooking up that way.

HTH,
Paolo

hjooking

Which word did you have in mind when typing that? Hijacking or hiking?

Neither - "hooking".  Again typo while on the bus...  Should be more careful.

Take a bus that drives on better roads  ;D

Honestly, I have it more and more that I'm typing blurb and don't recognize it because my eyes aren't any more what they were.
