[ObeoDesigner] NodeCreation problem for elements that are contained inside other [message #1811193]

Hello,
I'm using Obeo Designer to create metamodel for adventure game. I've designed that Game will consist of Locations, which in turn consists of other elements like Items and Characters. I'm trying to create a palette for edition tools like creating nodes. I did create Location creation, but can't get Item creation to work (maybe because it is connected to the Location not Game).
I thought that maybe as the Browse Expression for the change Context action I should reference Location that I want this Item to be inserted into but I don't know how to do it. I'm attaching screenshot of metamodel (maybe there is a critical error in it I'm not aware of).
Thank you for help in advance :)

Do you mean screenshot of model or whole project attached?
In case of model it looks like this:
index.php/fa/36188/0/

So there are Locations connected to each other with relation next/previous and inside location there are some Items or Characters.
I've created Location Node creation tool, but I can't get Item element to work. I think it is because of the "Reference Name" field in Create new instance action. For Location it was "location" since its the name of relation between Game and Location, but for Item I am not sure what should I put there.

Thank you for help.

All projects (metamodel, .edit, .editor, .odesign and samples) are easier to understand why it doesn't work for you.
I think you have an error in the Odesign file but I'm not sure.
With a use case I can see where is the problem.
Thanks.

Ok sure I'm attaching project and runtime example.
workspace2 includes edit, metamodel, design
runtime-EclipseApplication includes example (called My1.neawe)
In advance sorry for quality of this solution - I was experimenting a lot and didnt organize it properly I'm afraid.

Thanks for help

Hello Dominik,

You have to use the Extra Mapping field in the Advanced tab.
In the Extra Mapping field put the LocationNode to force Sirius to create a new Item only by clicking on the Location.
If you click on the diagram it doesn't work, because an item could not be create on a Game object but only a Location object.
