Create a node by Selecting a different container [message #1831884]

Hi,
I have a block that contains operators and Input/Output ports. I need just one Tool creation to create a Port.. If i click on the block it would be an input and if I click on the operator it would be and Output.
The first part is okay, and I added the Operator Node as extra Mapping to create a port but it seems that the product is created in the operator which is wrong. so I want to change the context and create an output Product in the system by clicking on the operator.
Could Someone help me ?

Thank you,
Fares.

Hello

The behavior you have is normal because when you click on the operator node, the context is the operator. So in this case, you need to change the context to the block before creating your instance of Port

You may use a switch/case model operation:

Switch
--case : aql:self.oclIsKindOf(Block)
---- Create Instance port
--case : aql:self.oclIsKindOf(Operator)
---- Change context: aql:self.eContainer() (supposing that the operator is contained in the block)
------Create Instance port
