PM18509: RSA/RAM: Clearing Checkbox for assets is not possible

Rational Software Architect RealTime Edition, Version 7.5.5.2
Rational Software Architect Standard Edition, Version 7.5.5.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When adding assets to Rational Asset Manager through Rational
  Software Architect, the Publish Asset dialog box displays the
  assets as dark/black elements indicating to a user that they
  should be able to clear the check box(es) for elements the later
  decide not to add to Rational Asset Manager.  This is incorrect;
  they should appear as grayed elements.  Elements selected are
  based on the Project Explorer selection(s).  It is not possible
  to deselect UML elements in the Publish Asset dialog box.
  
  There is no workaround for this issue.

  When adding assets to Rational Asset Manager through
  Rational Software Architect, the Publish Asset dialog box
  displays the assets as dark/black elements indicating to the
  user that they should be able to clear the check box(es) for
  elements and later decide not to add to Rational Asset
  Manager. This is incorrect; they should appear as grayed
  elements.  Elements selected are based on the Project
  Explorer selection(s). It is not possible to deselect UML
  elements in the Publish Asset dialog box.
  

Problem conclusion

• Gray out those elements that are not selectable in the
  publish asset dialog box.
  
  Note: If the checkbox is not selectable, only the
  corresponding tree item text will be grayed out, not the
  checkbox itself. This is due to an Eclipse platform
  limitation.
