I have tried giving this value to the LabelExpression of the column"[lineSemantic.oclAsType(<myClassForTheLineMapping>).ancestors().eContainer(<AncestorClassName>)/]. This doesn't seem to work.

I have tried giving "[thisEObject.ancestors()/]" value to the Associated Elements expression. But I don't know how to make us of it to display the value in the column.

Hi
Could you precise what you expect as a result please.

> column"[lineSemantic.oclAsType(<myClassForTheLineMapping>).ancestors()
As ancestors is not a method specific to <myClassForTheLineMapping> you
can do without oclAsType

Based of what I guessed :
> ... .ancestors().eContainer(<AncestorClassName>)
If you want the first ancestor of type <AncestorClassName> just use
eContainer(<AncestorClassName>)
Or if you want all ancestors of type <AncestorClassName> use
ancestors(<AncestorClassName>)

So it would become [lineSemantic.eContainer(<AncestorClassName>)/] or
[lineSemantic.ancestors(<AncestorClassName>)/]
