[EMF Forms] Show Rule not working if condition is an Enum Feature [message #1440255]

Hi

I have 2 Groups in a form. 1st group has a Enum Combo.
Based on the value in the Combo, i need to decide to show or not show the 2nd Group.

So on the 2nd Group, i created a Show Rule, Enabled the Rule and in the Leaf Condition i added the Feature Reference to the Enum Variable in my Model. then on the leaf condition if i click on select object to get the popup to mention the Enum Value, i see nothing really happening.

therefore doubt if enum is supported in the Leaf Condition of Show Rule or Enable Rule. not sure if i am making a mistake. But if i put an integer or boolean as Feature Reference then Select Object is opening up the dialog.

Regards
Malai

As a follow up, if i try to use a EDate, i get a clear error message stating datatype selected is not a primitive data type. I dnt get anything of that sort when its an enum.
Support of ENUM would be really useful, i am sure its similar to String datatype. Looking forward to your response on how to handle Enum if there is a workaround available.

Hi,

Enum is definitly supported, I would say 90% of the use cases are Enums.
I am not sure, what is wrong here, which version do you use?
Can you reproduce this with an example model?

Best regards

Jonas

Thanks Jonas for your prompt reply.

Attached is the User.view from the makeithappen example.
I am on 1.3 version of ECP and EMF Forms SDK

In the Weight control. I have added Show Rule with a Leaf Condition with reference to Feature Gender. I want to show this filled if the Gender is Male and hide it if the Gender is Female.

just to show you the other case is working. I have put a show rule inside email that it should be shown only with the active control is checked. And that works.

Could you kindly retest that with the latest version (1.4.1)

Did test it on 1.4.1 and it is working. On clicking on the Select Object button, i get a dialog with Enum List.
But now when i work with Direct Controls, refresh is awesome. But if i apply visibility to Group, then the refresh is bad. It doesnt expand the group. I need to maximise the editor and then the group appears.
This looks like a SWT Pack issue that we generally face during inserting new widgets or making their visibility true. Will try to attach a screenshot soon for better understanding.
