Hello all,

For now I've built out a basic class diagram editor in Sirius and I'm trying to modify the properties view so that I can see more correct information in the properties view for ease of use. If possible down the line I'd like it to also allow changes, but that's for another day.

In this image you can see a class that is connected to other classes via association. The both the classes and associations have meta definitions (DesClass and Association respectively).

As a result, when trying to view the connections attached to a class, I end up viewing all the associations attached to it. What I want to do is customize it to show the other classes attached to it, rather than a list of the associations attached to it.

I've been reading through the documentation here: https://eclipse.dev/sirius/doc/specifier/properties/Properties_View_Description.html#overrides
This is where I got the idea for overriding the default setting. Except now I have two issues.
1) I still don't actually know where/how to implement the override that I want as there aren't any examples I can use as reference, at least not that I've found so far.
2) I know how duplicate properties view. I renamed one of them to general to differentiate but I'm not sure how to get it back to just one view.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
