Hello,

I'm not really certain I got this right, so I wanted to ask: is there a way to style your diagram elements in a "cascading" way, like CSS, so you can specify a base/default style, and then you specify just the overrides for different "Conditional Styles".

I have a model where a node can have a couple of different properties set in different ways, for example one determines the border color, and the other the fill color; the number of my Conditional Styles scales exponentially with the number of my properties. It becomes cumbersome to edit and adjust.

Is there a way to just specify "overrides" to a default style? If not, is such a feature planned?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Yes you can override a default style. If you have too many combination
to use Conditional Styles (see
https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/specifier/diagrams/Diagrams.html#conditional_styles)
then it should be easier to use Style Customization (see
https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/specifier/diagrams/Diagrams.html#customization).
This allow you to modify an existing style (i.e. your default style) one
style property at a time, validating an expression based on your
properties. Sirius will process the combination.

Regards,
Steve

Thank you very much, this works great!

I didn't think of searching for a second place to set the styles. This second way looks much more flexible.
