Hi
I have a question regarding UpdateFeatures

After calling my UpdateFeature.update() and returned true isnt Graphiti supposed to remove the red boundary marking automatically or is there something else i must do ?

The update process went find and i verified the return value both from updateNeeded() and update() but my shape only return back to normal first when i drag it.

Hi,

this sounds as if there is no refresh triggered after the execution of
update(). updateNeeded() needs to be called and return a false reason to
remove the red marker.

Usually, the update is triggered automatically when you change someting in
the diagram or the domain model that is linked to the shape or a subshape of
it. Maybe that is not the case in your update method?

Sometimes also a manual refresh is needed because the automatic does not
work. Just call DiagramEditor.refresh from the update method in that case.
