Allow connecting Value Activities to one another. #85

Closed danionita closed 7 years ago

bobismijnnaam commented 7 years ago

I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I remember that after some discussions with you and Jaap, it was decided that value activities can only connect to their "containing" entities. So if you have a VA within an MS/AC it can only connect to the MS or AC it is residing in. If you have a top-level VA it can connect to anything. There's also a comment stating specifically this. Did I interpret our discussions wrong or is this the way it should be?

I cannot come up with any reason not to allow it. Do you remember where that comment was?

There are at least two reasons to allow it:

Do you mean this figure?

I see only one value activity in that graph. Anyway, I think the reason why I thought that was because of #48. However #48 does not exclude value activities connecting with eachother, so we should probably allow that. I'll try implementing it today.

Should work as of d4366c59959368716bd5564e0ca07eaa9cce5969.
