I have a model with an attribute which is an EReference to a single selected class type. The class is derived from an abstract class, but in this case I have selected only a single particular class for the EReference, and wish to select only a single instance of that explicit class as the assigned value. Right clicking on the property sheet line creates a list named choiceOfValues in PropertyDescriptor:createPropertyEditor. It gets into the section handling an EStructuralFeature, and the feature is an EReferenceImpl. The problem I'm seeing is that there are items other than the particular referenced class being added to the list.

I'll need to generate a small example ecore that demonstrates the problem. Is this a known issue or limitation? I didn't find discussion.

This is the small test case ecore model, which is intended to limit assignment of the refinstance attribute with a reference to a Leaf1Type.

------------
This shows that an assignment was allowed of an refbug Inner type to refinstance, and in fact the Inner instance in1 was selected from the dropdown list. This also validates, which I find surprising. I would have expected refinstance dropdown to contain only the Leaf1Type, labeled lf1.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<refbug:Root xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:refbug="http:///refbug.ecore">
<children xsi:type="refbug:Inner" label="in1">
<children xsi:type="refbug:Leaf1Type" label="lf1"/>
<children xsi:type="refbug:Leaf2Type" label="lf2">
<Vars name="vs1" refinstance="//@children.0"/>
</children>
</children>
</refbug:Root>

This was totally my fault. Error in the ecore model. Should have been below. Works as it should.
