Error description
Environment: - Microsoft Windows - Product: RSA4WS 8.5 Reproducible: Y Description of problem: When selecting the 'insert new' icon on the right side of the attribute tab of the property view of a UML Class, the default value is no longer 'attribute' but 'port'. Also the 'attribute' menuitem comes as second in the drop down menu, and not as first. On a RSA instance ]where all components have been installed, this seems to only happen on RSA 8.5. Older versions are not affected nor RSA 8.5.1. Yet, with different sets of components installed, the problem can be triggered with other versions, including RSA 8.5.1 Steps to reproduce 1) Install all components of RSA 8.5. 2) Create a Class Diagram 3) Create a Class 4) Try to add an attribute to the class via the 'add new' button of the attribute tab of the properties view 5) Observe that the first option is to add a port. Workaround Click on the triangle next to the 'add new' button and choose 'attribute' in the dropdown menu. Alternatively use another means to create the attribute (clicking on the class in the diagram and on the add attribute button).
