Error description
In IBM Rational Software Architect (RSA), if you modify a BPMN diagram and then close it, the '[BPMN model name] has been modified. Save changes?' dialog box appears, which is a misleading message. The following steps recreate the scenario: 1. Create a BPMN model/diagram 2. Add elements to the diagram 3. Save the changes 4. Add more elements to the diagram RESULT: The model is 'dirtied' (an asterisk appears on the model in the Project Explorer) to indicate unsaved changes, as expected. 5. Close the diagram Expected Result: The '[BPMN model name] has been modified, but is still open elsewhere with identical changes. Closing this will not lose those changes. Would you like to save now anyway?' message appears. If you then click 'No', the changes are not discarded and reopening the diagram shows the asterisk, but clicking on 'No' on a 'Save' prompt when you close the model in the Project Explorer, does discard the changes. This is RSA's behavior in v8.5.x. Actual Result: The 'Save' prompt comes with '[BPMN model name] has been modified. Save Changes?' message. This message is misleading because, if you then click 'No', the changes will not be discarded, even though you chose 'No' in order to discard the changes. The same problem occurs with UML models and Java classes as well as BPMN models. There is no workaround to this problem.
