initial values for properties created in list editor [message #848149]

In my editor I have a list property editor and when a new ModelElement is created for this list via the "add" button on the list editor, I would like for various properties on that new element to have initial values written out to the underlying XML store.

I was trying to use initial value expressions for this, but the initial value service is not consulted for all the element's properties when a new ModelElement is created via the "Add" handler for a list property editor.

What would be the recommended way for me to accomplish this instead? Would adding individual property listeners on each property in the ModelElement be the appropriate way to handle this?

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Using InitialValueService is the way to go here, but there looks to be a bug here. A quick code inspection confirms that it will not get called when creating list or element property child elements. It only works for root elements.

Please open a bug report.
