Bugs and Issues / Set run state doesn't recognise enumerated lists?

« on: April 27, 2016, 01:40:51 pm »

Hi team,

Is this a bug or are my expectations too high?

Version 12.1.1224

Steps to reproduce.

1. Create a node
2. Create an enumerated list
3. Add attributes to the node
4. Classify one of the attributes as the enumerated list
5. Place an instance of the node onto a diagram (Component/deployment whatever)
6. Set the run state of the attributes. (Ctrl+Shift+R)

Expected behaviour:
The attribute which has been classified as an enumerated list should present a drop down which contains the attributes from the enumeration.

Actual behaviour:
The value field in the Features/Set run state dialog is just a blank field that accepts anything.

Am I expecting too much, or is this a bug.

Bugs and Issues / Re: RTF document generation: list of tables/figures

« on: April 07, 2016, 03:11:26 pm »

I think I've achieved that by applying styles in the RTF template, then allowed word to generate the table of figures by relying on the style.

I haven't used RTFs for a long time now, and am struggling to find an example.

"We called them gurus, because there wasn't enough room for `charlatan' in the headline"

No offence intended qwerty, but whenever I see the term `guru' I remember that quote.

D'Oh!

I was trying to log in with my screen name, and this wasn't working...

Logging in with my email address worked fine.

Sparx to the rescue! My username is not the same as my screen name.

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Stop Diagram Filters being user specific and..

Hmm...

I worry about the direction of this conversation.

In another system, with a shared repository (shared by all ICT personnel) I've had work corrupted, through inappropriate re-use and modification of entities...

I'm not sure that I could cope with diagrams changing display behaviour because another user is applying filters to understand some aspect of the system being developed.

I can image revert wars taking place in those circumstances.

Suggestions and Requests / Labels near the node, rather than the endpoints

« on: November 12, 2010, 03:17:20 pm »

When I am naming the flows from a decision point in a BPMN diagram, I'd like the label to appear next to the decision point, rather than at the far end of the flow...

This seems intuitive to me, i.e. Is this a valid transaction? Yes, follow this line, No, follow this line.

Having to trace a line to the end to find out what the decision was seems... ...odd.

Moving the label to the other end, created disconnected labels that don't move when you move everything else on the diagram, and can result in very strange diagrams.

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Document generation: relevant glossary

Ian is going to have to start paying me...

The glossary function in eaDocX does what you're requesting.

It finds items in your document, which have matching entries in the Project Glossary.

It highlights the glossary items, in your document, and adds the term and description to a glossary table in your document.

That's very funny skiwi, at the same time as being true as well !  I would add "and your friends' friends too" !

Truly, and "the horses they rode in on too!"

We need all the help we can get.

1. Export to .csv
2. Open in a spreadsheet package
3. Add the new tagged value
4. Import from .csv

I use this method to export to and import from JIRA...

(We still don't have JIRA connector here)

PS> Sparxians... if you added JIRA connector to the base functionality, I'd be a happy chappy.
