Description Pierre-Charles David CLA 2016-06-13 11:37:51 EDT 
With the current feature set (as of Sirius 4.0), it is *possible* to create a fully functional reference edition widget (both for single and multi-valued references), but it requires writing custom Java services, at least for the interactive value selection, "move up" and "move down" actions of multi-valued references.

It should not be necessary to write custom Java code to implement these common use cases.

Note that this ticket is only about making sure it is technically possible to configure reference widgets without Java code. It is not about making it easy (which we obviously want too, but I'll open a separate ticket for that).
Comment 1 Pierre-Charles David CLA 2016-06-27 06:21:36 EDT 
For reference, https://github.com/pcdavid/org.eclipse.sirius.sample.properties.refedit contains a basic example of how to setup a reference widget to edit an actual EReference using Sirius 4.0.
Comment 2 Pierre-Charles David CLA 2016-08-24 08:45:28 EDT 
This was fixed by https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/78305/ in the context of bug #496057.
Comment 3 Julien Dupont CLA 2016-09-08 09:42:32 EDT 
The feature works correctly (reference[ext]) but there is no documentation about this new feature.
Comment 4 Pierre-Charles David CLA 2016-10-18 11:09:03 EDT 
Available in Sirius 4.1.0, see https://wiki.eclipse.org/Sirius/4.1.0 for details.
