Description Peter Cigehn CLA 2016-12-15 04:03:27 EST 
As part of Bug 476984 it was ensured that the '*' case was handled correctly in the protocol message parameter table, i.e. whenever the protocol message parameter is left untyped, a '*' shall be shown in the type column for the parameter table in the properties view for a protocol message.

In the latest Papyrus-RT build it can be noted that the type column is empty for the '*' case. If you double-click in the type column (to edit the type), then '*' is shown as expected.

This used to work and I am not sure when this regression occurred (it was discovered as part of verifying Bug 495352).

Steps to reproduce:

1) Create a UML-RT model
2) Create a protocol in this model
3) Create a protocol message in this protocol
4) Add a parameter to this protocol message and select '*' as its type, i.e. in practice to leave it untyped
5) Select the protocol message and check the parameter table in the properties view
6) Observe how the type column is empty. Expected result would be that the type column had a '*' displayed.

Compare with selecting the parameter itself and check the type field in the properties view which displays a '*'

Pulling this into 1.0 because Papyrus Oxygen also regressed the editing behaviour of the Type cells:  double-clicking just brings up a type browser instead of letting the user type with content-assist or hit a '...' to access the menu of language-relevant choices.

Comment 5 Peter Cigehn CLA 2017-06-02 04:30:29 EDT 
Verified to be fixed in the latest Papyrus-RT build (#738). The '*' is now shown in the protocol message parameter table in the properties view as expected. The double-clicking and the ... button now works as it did before.

Closing as verified fixed.
