Summary

An Attribute must be typed by a primitive type.

Details

An Attribute should always be typed by a primitive type. The type of an attribute must be a so-called "primitive" type.

Primitive types are either:

  • UML types (Boolean, string, integer, float etc)

  • Enumerations

  • Classes or DataTypes as long as they are defined as being "primitive"

Tips

When you get a R1480 error, choose one of the following solutions:

  • If the current type of the attribute is not the expected one in your design, then consider changing the attribute type for a "primitive" one.

  • If it makes sense, consider modifying the typing class or DataType to make it "primitive" (*).

  • If you do not wish to make the typing Class or DataType primitive, consider replacing the attribute by an association to the non- primitive typing class or DataType.

(*)To make a class or a DataType "primitive", simply select it in the model and set its "primitive" property to true in the element property tab.
