Cannot create duplicate references in non-containment list [message #431844]

I am using EMF by beginning with the ecore model and then generating code.

I have a class with a non-containment list reference.

The EMF property "unique" is set to false for this reference

The EMF.Edit "Property Type" is set Editable for this reference.

The Property Sheet editor allows me to edit these references, but it does
NOT allow duplicates!

I believe the problem is in the pop-up property sheet editor, and that the
list reference itself could handle duplicates.

Any suggestions here?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

That's because of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=89325.
A bad initial assumption was that all EObject lists had to be unique...

No, it can't.

You'd need to specialize the list that's created in the getter to
override isUnique to return false.
