Error description

• Environment:
  RSA 8.0.4
  
  Reproducible:
  Yes
  
  Description of problem:
  'Entry', 'Do', and 'Exit' activities within a state are saved as
  'uml:Activity', if they are created on the state machine
  diagram, but are saved as 'uml:OpaqueBehavior', if they are
  created on the Project Explorer
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  a. Create a UML project ? model
  
  b. Add a State Machine Diagram
  
  c. Add a State to the Region in the Project Explorer
  
  d. Add an 'Entry Activity' to the State in the Project Explorer
  
  e. Save the changes to the model
  
  f. Open the model with a text editor and do a search on
  'uml:OpaqueBehavior'
  
  RESULT: The 'Entry Activity' from Step 4 has been saved as a
  'uml:OpaqueBehavior'
  
  g. Close the text editor
  
  h. Delete the 'Entry Activity' created in Step 4
  
  i. Open the State Machine Diagram and make sure that the State
  from Step 3 is on this diagram
  
  j. Right-click the State and select Add UML ? Entry
  
  RESULT: You will be given a choice to create this 'Entry' as an
  'Activity', 'State Machine', 'Opaque Behavior', or 'Existing
  Element'.
  
  Workaround:
  The obvious workaround is to create the entries via the diagram
  and to select the type you want for them

  ****************************************************************
  Creation of  Entry, Do or Exit Activity  does not prompt for
  behaviour selection and creates the default behaviour of
  type uml:OpaqueBehavior.
  

Problem conclusion

• Rational Software Architect was not prompting the user to
  select the behaviour type for Entry, Do and Exit Activity
  Fixed the functionality to prompt and allow the user to
  select the behaviour type.
  

Temporary fix
