Textual Editor For Named Element
Since Papyrus 1.1.0 (Eclipse Mars), Papyrus provides a new texutal editor to edit references to UML NamedElement. This editor works only for references which are not in containment. This editor has not been developed using XText. it use a custom string parser and the class NameResolutionHelper to find named elements from their name. This string editor works for all references multiplicities.
Grammar
- in case of multivalued references, the separator between the name of the element is the comma,
- if the name contains a comma, the string typed by the user must be prefixed and suffixed by a single quote
'.
Generic Behavior
- the value typed by the user are checked and the value is not committed if the named element is not found (an error message is displayed to the user)
- completion
- CTRL-SPACE opens a popup providing an helper for the completion
- if the text field is empty, the completion provides only the
nullvalue and display...to prevent the user than it should type more text. - if more than 15 elements are found to match the string, we display only the 15 first values +
null+...to prevent the user than more values are available, opening the dialog
- if the text field is empty, the completion provides only the
- CTRL-SPACE opens a popup providing an helper for the completion

Table
Papyrus provide an integration of this editor for Papyrus NatTable. This is the same editor for single and multi references. It is a textfield, with a button displayed to its right. This button allows to the user to open the dialog to choose the reference too. It allows to the user to edit the cell as text or selected the new value directly in the model tree with the dialog
