Hi,

I use xtext + sirius to edit my model.
part of Xtext defined in meta-model as flow:
Requirement returns Requirement:
	'Requirement'
	identifier=EString
	'{'
		('count' count=EInt)?
		('mandatory' mandatory=EBoolean)?
		'type' type=[ApplicationType|EString]
		('applications' '(' applications+=[ApplicationInstance|EString] ( "," applications+=[ApplicationInstance|EString])* ')' )?
	'}';

If i didn't set 'type' of a 'Requirement' in sirius diagram editor, then i can't save the model.
Values: identifier(1), count(0-1), mandatory(0-1)
Semantic Object: CyberPhysicalSystem.requests[0]->Request.requirements[0]->Requirement
URI: platform:/resource/cpsTest/f1.cyberphysicalsystem
Context: Requirement returns Requirement
	at org.eclipse.xtext.serializer.diagnostic.ISerializationDiagnostic$ExceptionThrowingAcceptor.accept(ISerializationDiagnostic.java:131)
	at org.eclipse.xtext.serializer.sequencer.BacktrackingSemanticSequencer.createSequence(BacktrackingSemanticSequencer.java:480)
	at org.eclipse.viatra.examples.cps.model.dsl.serializer.CPSSemanticSequencer.sequence_Requirement(CPSSemanticSequencer.java:200)
	at org.eclipse.viatra.examples.cps.model.dsl.serializer.CPSSemanticSequencer.sequence(CPSSemanticSequencer.java:62)


I think in some scenarios, we should serialize the model successfully, even if there is some unset properties.
Is there any options or switch to ignore the null property in model?

Best regards!

Yes, the 'type' is required in the grammar.

Whether we can serialize the model without 'type' or with the 'type' empty?

Best regards!

But that model would be broken?

I don't think model would be broken.
Such as the Requirement grammar mentioned above,
Requirement returns Requirement:
	'Requirement'
	identifier=EString
	'{'
		('count' count=EInt)?
		('mandatory' mandatory=EBoolean)?
		'type' type=[ApplicationType|EString]
		('applications' '(' applications+=[ApplicationInstance|EString] ( "," applications+=[ApplicationInstance|EString])* ')' )?
	'}';

in Sirius editor, if user did not set value of 'type' for a 'Requirement' instance, we can serialize it as blow: 
    Requirement "requirement1" {
        count 0
        applications ("***", "***")
    }

there is no 'type' and 'mandatory' information.

Of course, if some property use as identifier, it must have a value.

Best regards!

no this model would be invalid.
the grammar says ther has to be a type?


so why dont you simply make it optional in the grammar?
