Move an element [message #1802256]

Hello,

I'm creating elements that relate two previously created elements. That is, el3 refers to el1 and el2. El3 is created using a lazy rule. The metamodel has a container element that stores all elements of the template. However I can not move the el3 into the container.

I can move el1 and el2 into the container using the following code:

ElementNodes <- E!ENodes.allInstances()

I believe the above code does not work with el3 because it is an element created by a lazy rule.

Any idea how I can solve this?

Tnks.

Provided that you used a unique lazy rule (in EMFTVM), you can also track down those generated elements, given the (Sequence of) source elements that generated them, for example:

E!EL1.allInstances()->collect(el1 | E!EL2.allInstances()->collect(el2 | thisModule.resolveTemp(Sequence{el1, el2}, 'LazyRuleName', 'outputElementName') )->flatten()

Cheers,
Dennis
