I couldn't find reference as to how to do it, or why it is not supported to set an instance state in activity diagram to a final state for that element as specified by it's state machine. I don't see from the UML validity standpoint why this wouldn't be available. It is natural that some actions in the activity diagram may set an instance's state to a final state. It is a final state - not a termination - of the specific instance.
IMHO this should be added as possibility. Any thoughts or workarounds on this?
