Invalid combination of source and target types in matrix

[Geert Bellekens]

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

(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,

Hai,
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

Maybe Geert can post the issue tracker id and you can inquire the status from Sparx support thereafter.

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?

That should be v16
