Hi

EMF Forms treats the features with unsettable=true and lowerBound=1 as "required fields", i.e. they are highlighted (exclamation mark etc.)

That is "unsettable" is ignored. Is this an intended behavior?

I need to generate Ecore model from XSD which contains references with cardinality=1..* and nillable=true. I tought it would be enough to intersperse ecore:unsettable into XSD. That would produce Ecore model with unsettable=true (I have not tested if it does). But as I see it would be no use because only cardinality is taken into account. There is information lost when generating EMF Forms from XSD backed Ecore model.

..no big deal, I will transform the XSD before generating Ecore model so it fits the current EMF Forms way

Hi,

what do you exspect to happen for a "unsettable" attribute?

Best regards

Jonas

in this case I would expect that "unsettable" has more priority than "lowBound", so the affected fields are not treated as "required"

Just to avoid misunderstandings: "Unsettable" means that an attribute
can be unset, not that it is not settable, right?

yes it means it can be set to null in the object model
I think such fields should not be treated as mandatory, "lowBound" should be ignored

Hi,

every attribute can be set to "null". Unsettable means, the attribut can
be "unset" which is conceptionally different to setting it to null, as
it adds another state. However, I am indifferent if the combination
"unsettable" and manditory makes sense in a model. I think you should
adapt it in the mode if you think this is inconsistent.

Best regards

Jonas

I'd avoid this combination too, but XSD is not in my hand

therefore I want to add XSD transformation as build step - it would be most stable solution
