[PropertiesView] Has anybody a working example for the select option in the new Properties View? [message #1735975]

I'm currently experimenting with the new PropertiesView. But I can't create a Select-Property, it never shows any Elements.

Did anybody have success with this and can share his/her properties for the Select element?

I have uploaded a picture of my current Settings, in case it is just a dump mistake.

I don't know your metamodel, but the Candidates Expression
"aql:topology::Topology.blockTypes" seems wrong. Even syntactically, it
seems to try to access a feature or call a service named "blockTypes" on
a type from the metamodel.

Could it be simply aql:self.blockTypes ?

The rest of your configuration look fine (the "Is Enabled Expression"
can be left blank if it will always return true; that's the default value).

I have created a Radio box (group), which should be similar. I am
guessing you want to show the literals of an enum?

In the Candidates Expression I create a sequence explicitly including
all the literals I want to show: aql:Sequence{ico::PlaceKind::SIMPLE}.
Note the use of :: between package, enum and literal names.

In the Candidate Display Expression I needed to call toString() like
this: aql:candidate.toString()

Thanks, that helped. I didn't realize that I have the self Statement.
I uploaded the corrected Version here, in case anybody whats to see the solution. I'm using the ancestors() option because the blockTypes are at the root Element.
