Error description

  • In Rational Software Architect, it is not possible to recreate a
    connector label in a composite structure diagram after it has b
    een deleted.
    
    Using the 'Edit ? Undo Delete from Diagram' will not work in a s
    ituation where a developer working under source control creates
    the diagram with the content, deletes the label (thinking it is
    not important), and then delivers the changes.  If a second deve
    loper then loads the changes and wants to see the label in the d
    iagram, this developer will not be able to get the label back in
    to the diagram.
    
    Problem Description:
    1.        Create a class and an associated composite structure d
    iagram
    2.        Define a port an a provided interface which is connect
    ed to the port
    3.        Delete the connector label 'interface1 : Interface1' f
    rom the diagram
                    Result: The diagram now only shows the class, th
    e port and the interface, but no label anymore
    4.        Try to recreate the label
                    Expected Result: It is possible to recreate the
    label with the 'Show/Hide Connector Labels' filter function
                   Actual result: It is not possible to recreate the
     label with the 'Show/Hide Connector Labels', as this context me
    nu item is greyed out.
    
    The filter function should work the same way in composite struct
    ure diagrams as in other diagrams, where it can be used to recre
    ate formerly deleted connector labels.
