Title: Invalid combination of source and target types in matrix
Post by: Geert Bellekens on May 05, 2021, 09:10:43 pm: Details:
When trying to add an ArchiMate3::ArchiMate_Flow relationship between two ArchiMate3::Archimate_ApplicationComponent in the relationship matrix we get an error saying:
--------------------------- Enterprise Architect --------------------------- Invalid combination of source and target types for this connector type. --------------------------- [ OK ] ---------------------------

This does not happen when trying to create the exact same relation in the diagram, or in the new relationship matrix diagram view.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Create 2 Archimate 3 Application components in a package
- make sure you have the option "strict connector syntax" on
- Open the package as source and target in the relationship matrix
- try create a flow connection between the two application components.
- Notice that you get an error and the relation is not created
- Notice that you can create the same relationship directly on the diagram without a problem

Post by: BCGoitcwoodard on May 25, 2021, 04:23:21 am: (Sparx:) Where in the tool is this error coming from? exactly what conditions trigger it?

I have received the same error in various circumstances, though I cannot remember the specifics.

Thanks,
CCW

Is there a solution for this issue yet?
I'm getting the same error.

Might there be another way to easily create a larger number of relationships, e.g. by using an import from excel?

Best,
Jan

There will be a fix in the next major release

Post by: Guillaume on March 18, 2022, 08:59:16 pm: Hi,

I'm having the same issue with EA 15.2 build 1559. I tried EA16RC and I confirm that it's been fixed.
Has it been added to build 1560, or is there any plan to add to a new EA15.2 build?

By 'next major release' do you mean when EA 16, EA 16.x or EA 17?
