Title: MDG enumeration stereotype potential bug (EA15.1)
Post by: Guillaume on March 06, 2020, 08:21:18 pm

I have an MDG with class stereotypes including "enumeration". We're using a stereotype so that our enums have a default colour set in the MDG.
I noticed a strange behaviour though: in the element's properties, when I click on the ... link to show the selected stereotype under my Profile, the list is empty.

Could it be due to the fact that I'm using a reserved keyword for this stereotype? It works ok with other stereotypes.

Probably.

Back in the old days (version 9?) EA didn't have an object type "enumeration". Back then those were classes with stereotype «enumeration» and they were treated in a different way by the application.
I'm guessing that special treatment was somewhat hardcoded and is still in the system.
