Hi Peter, I've uploaded here a set of screenshots explaining what I've done. You'll see in the 3rd image the "weird" ADL. This was an empty copy of the parent (1st & 2nd images), it doesn't had any nodes on the ACTIVITY description and I added one ELEMENT. Trying to reproduce the same behaviour on the Archetype Editor, I got another structure and cannot reproduce the first "weird" specialization (4th image). Here are the screenshots:https://plus.google.com/109540968085207927247/posts/er5QzBkc5Mt
Just for clarification: * I'm using AE 2.2.779* In all cases I do: File > Specialize when editing the parent archetype (images 1 & 2)* I asked for this " I think it would be better if the AE copies the parents nodes into the specialized archetype when the AE user clicks on "File > Specialize", of course, only when the ADL version is 1.4" because of what I got the first time I specialize the parent (image 3). About validation, it takes a lot of time to do something manually, then validate - fix - validate - fix again ... that time could be saved using just the AE. BTW: I found a possible bug when editing scpeialized archetype on image 4, if I put a constraint occurrences 0..0 on the DV_QUANTITY node, the ADL still says 0..1. I'll update my AE to the new version to see if this still happen. Just a question about specialization: is there a specialization level constraint? the AE doesn't allow to make an specialization from an specialization (3rd level of specialization). Thanks a lot! -- Kind regards, Ing.
