PM97010: Stereotype overrides local property settings

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ImplementationProlog of a triggered operation. Please find a
  sample model attached.
  
  
  On setting this stereotype for the triggered operation in
  class_1 (see triggeredoperation_2) the Concurrency is changed to
  'sequential'. The user here expects that the stereotype applied
  to an element should only affect those properties of the element
  that were explicitly (locally) overridden in the stereotype. In
  this case only the property 'Implementation prolog' was
  overridden/used in the stereotype, but when it is applied to an
  operation it also changes 'Concurrency' which was never touched
  in the stereotype.
  
  However, regarding the precedence of a locally overridden
  property over the stereotype property, the help says.
  'Inheritance of property values
  Note: If a stereotype is applied to an element, a property
  assigned to that stereotype takes precedence over the inherited
  property values for the element
  (locally overridden properties take precedence over both
  inherited properties and properties applied using a
  stereotype).'
  
  This seems not the right behavior, if the stereotype changes the
  property of an element, on removing the stereotype there is no
  way to get back the original property.
  This is a simple scenario where the changes property can be
  surfaced. However, with huge model the stereotype can change
  many other properties without the user knowledge.
