Doubt about cross-references [message #1674618]

I'm trying Xtext for the first time, but I got a little bit confused using cross-references. Considering the 15 Minutes Tutorial, why cross-references don't work when I change the name of the entity's "name" property? For example:

Entity:
'entity' id = ID ('extends' superType = [Entity])? '{'
(features += Feature)*
'}'
;

I know "[Entity]" is just a short for "[Entity|ID]", but how Xtext knows which property matching the ID terminal rule must be used? Have we always to set a "name" property? How could we change this behaviour?

Thanks!

Hi, the default IQualifedNameProvider implementation requires you to do so. but of course you can change it: https://christiandietrich.wordpress.com/tag/iqualifiednameprovider/
