Title: [Solved] How to set "Kind" of an action
Post by: Sorno on February 14, 2014, 07:59:49 pm

Hi,

In my MDG I let my stereotype FunctionCall extend Action. I now wish to also set Kind to BehaviorCall (as found in the properties dialog under Advanced).   I see that the metaclass Action has the attribute Kind - but changing that value don't. When I create an instance of the stereotype the Kind-field is empty.

Is it possible to set such properties from the MDG or do I need to do it through an addin?

Also, I reckon it would take an addin to make EA open a elementpicker where the user can choose which Activity to call? (This happens if you add Action (behavior call) from the UML toolbox. )

Thank you for any help!

Edit:
For the steroetype set the attribute "kind" to type ActionCall and the initial value to "CallBehavior".
