Smart Sheet connections: inspector vs Smart Sheet vs properties.

[Tom Andries]

When I look at the “cascading” relationship in a process decomposition, the Inspector shows me what I expect: an “owning/owns” relationship between parent and “child” element.
However, in EA I do not find that relationship back in the “links” part of the parent element, probably because no explicit relationship was established, the relationship was implied by the hierarchical structure in the browser.
What puzzles me most is that (a) in EASheet, there are “children” relationships reported, uinstead of “owning” relationships, (b) this is ONLY done FOR THE FIRST LEVEL while (c) 2 empty children columns appear.

eaSheets can show parent/child elements using the option on the menu (Show / Hide element children).
Showing them in a Smart Sheet does not seem to work, which I will investigate.
As for your ‘owns’ relationship, it seems like – from your exaple screen sot – that ‘owns’ is some king of aggregation relationship, not parent child, so I’m a bit confused about what you have in your model, as well as what you expect to see!
Maybe if you provide a little XMI in here, for me to look at? And so you can explain what you expect.
Thanks
