Description Michael Moser CLA 2006-11-01 10:30:28 EST 
If one wants to create a Link Mapping => Label Mapping the menu to select the "Features"-value apparently offers ALL model features of the .ecore model.

If two or more feature names from different types clash (e.g. multiple types having a "name"-attribute) then it is impossible to figure out, which element to select. As shown in the screen shot attached, my model has *five* elements that have a name attribute and one can not see, which "name" is meant by which entry.

Please prefix these entries with their types (e.g. Process.name) or put the type in brackets (e.g. "name (Process)") or some other indication of that sort, so that one has a chance to pick the correct element here.

Michael

Patch with modified EcoreItemProvider

Possible solution to the problem. It's too late to get into 2.1, might get into 2.1.1 and 2.2.

As it's not always handy to have qualified names, might be reasonable to add a menu action that triggers simple and qualified representation.

Modified ItemProvider with toggle action

Better yet, allow user to toggle qualified/simple names, with qualified set as default to ease feature discovery
