Hi,

I have a lazy rule and this lazy rule calls a helper. Although I pass the elements of input model to this helper, It checks for both elements of input and output and it stops with OUT! <unnamed>.
Before, that I use a helper in a rule not lazy rule, was fine. Is it because that I defined it in a lazy rule?

Thanks

here is the helper:

helper context MM! Dependency
def: findCM (): Set (MM! Association) =
MM!Association.allInstances()->select (e|e-> debug ('CM').hasStereotype('PRO1::CM') and
and e.endType -> at (1) =self.client -> at(1)

);

How I can specify that allInstances () should be calculated only for input elements not output elements?

I think there's a declinaison of allInstances that allows to specifiy precisely for which model you're asking all the instances.
This should be

allInstancesFrom('model name')

Btw you can remove the () in the helper name, that way it does cache for the helper and it behaves just like a property so it's only calculated once for each element and not re-computed afterwards.
