Custom Menu Entry in Create Object of Property [message #1027855]

Hello all.

I'm wondering about the ability of custom menu entry in the menu of UML elements that appear when you click on the "create object" or "+" button next to the type field of a class property in a class model.

My backend system has 30000 data types so it is easy to forget a few while importing to the model initially. Therefore import the data type on the fly would be great.

I cannot find a locationURI and wonder if it is even possible without adding to the UML model since the entries seems to be a filtered subset of UML elements only.

Is this maybe what the undocumented dataType extension point (org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.properties.datatype)is supposed to do?

Thanks and regards.
Martin

This is not possible.
Values in that menu are added only by code from available UML metadata in org.eclipse.papyrus.views.properties.creation.EcorePropertyEditorFactory.java

To solve this I would either have to create a custom widget and reference all other widgets or add my own entry to UML metadata model with proper handling of course.
