I recently installed Bellekens Enterprise Architect Toolpack in order to test the JSON Schema generation functionality, as we'd need this to create schemas from the UML model we've recently created for ISO. However, ever since I've installed this toolpack, I can no longer edit class attributes :(
When I go to Class Properties -> Details -> Attributes, in place of the Attribute Dialog, I get nothing (while the Class Properties dialog box disappears (=crashes?)), leaving me very unhappy.
While I'd really like to have the JSON Schema capabilities, for the present I'd be thankful to be able to edit EA models at all!
I'm currently using EA Version 15.0.1513
Any insights on how I can continue to use EA?
Many thanks!

For the time being you can disable Geert's add-in (in the Specialize/Manage add-ins menu). Geert might be off until New Year has been celebrated (but he never seems to be lazy for longer than needed ;-)

I'm pretty sure this isn't related to the EA toolpack you installed.

If you select a class on a diagram, and then press F9, what happens?
It should show you the docked attributes window.

If you still can't see it, try Start | Workspace and choose of the other "workspaces".
That will rearrange your windows. Sometimes a window can get lost.

Then try the F9 thing again.

Upgrading to the latest 15.2 version isn't a bad idea either. (don't upgrade to v16 for now)

MANY THANKS! I'm saved!!!
Changed the workspace, life is again good!

Additional question - I'd really like to experiment with the EA JSON Module, but don't find JSON in the list of diagram types. Any tips?

It should be there. What's the add-ins window telling you about the EA JSON addin?

Unfortunately, despite having installed the plugin multiple times, I cannot see it under the Add-Ins :(
I'll try and update to V15.2, see if it's happier there!
Many thanks for the support!!!
