Description Andreas Graf

2011-01-07 06:18:31 EST

Build Identifier: 0.7.2

The dialogbox for slots (in defining features) is rather unusuable for large systems, because features are not filters nor are their defining classifiers shown in the list.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create several classes with properties
2. Create an Instance specification for one of these classes.
3. Add a slot to the instance specification
4. Open the properties for that slot.
5. Press "+" for "Defining Feature".
6. The list shows all the features in the system, not only those that are from the InstanceSpecification's type or its supertype.

In order to overcome this problem you can directly drag an drop a classifier (from the model explorer) on an instance specification (on the diagram). As a result a popup will show up allowing you to select the different properties for which you need to create slots.

Now this is one *nifty undocumented* feature that could have saved me a couple of hours... [*]

Nevertheless, the original bug still stands for version 1.1.3

IMO, 
* this bug should also block Bug 358077 ([Property View - UML] The UML property view should be improved for usability concerns)
* Bug 367652 is definitely (also/yet another?)  a duplicate of this bug

[*] (being greedy now) It would be even better if this would work recursively, ie. if a new instance specification would be created for slots whose defining feature itself is a classifier :-)
