Custom attributes in ProLaborate
« on: March 19, 2025, 09:26:31 pm »
Hello,

apologies if the subject had already been discussed - search did not return anything relevant.

We created some profiles in our Sparx EA, extending several UML elements.  As example, we created our own specialization of Node.  Let's it called it ExtendedNode.  It has some additional attributes, based on either date or enumerations.

When exposing them for editing in ProLaborate, they come out nicely, but only as text fields.  Is there a way to have them behave the same way as in Sparx, meaning understand and apply profile and use values coming from the profile, so that ProLaborate users would use the same consistent values/types as Sparx users ?

We are using (at the moment) ProLaborate 5.2.0.70.

Best regards
Marcin

Did you import your MDG into Prolaborate?
If you do, the enumeration tagged values should work correctly.

Thank you Geert, I did not know that MDG has to be imported also into ProLaborate.  Now the funny thing happens - enum based attributes are editable and show drop downs.  Text attributes are not editable, despite having been configured as editable in the MDG's profile for specific stereotype.

Thank you for pointing me into right direction.  Appreciate any further suggestions.

Best regards
