ConceptDescription cannot be looked up within the AAS environment!

[JS-Aibel]

Describe the bug When creating a property with a reference to a ConceptDescription, the ConceptDescription does not come up in the property. A label saying “ConceptDescription cannot be looked up within the AAS environment!“ is shown. To get the correct behavior, I need to manually assign the ConceptDescription.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a property.
2. In the “Editing of entities” for the property, click Concept Description: “Create empty” button.
3. A Concept Description and a corresponding semantic id reference on the property will be created.
4. Label in the property saying: “ConceptDescription cannot be looked up within the AAS environment!“.
5. In the “Editing of entities” for the property click Concept Description: “Use existing” button.
6. Navigate to the desired ConceptDescription and select it in the menu.
7. The property will show the ConceptDescription as expected.

Expected behavior When a property has a semantic id to a ConceptDescription, it should not be needed to manually assign it. This screencast shows the expected behavior.

Why is this a problem It is too cumbersome to have to manually reselect Concept Descriptions for every property.

I figured out what triggers it.

1. When creating a Concept Description from the “Create empty” button on the property, the semantic id reference on the property becomes a “ModelReference”.
2. When selecting a Concept Description with the “Use existing”, the semantic id reference on the property becomes a “ExternalReference”.

By switching the semantic id from “ModelReference” to “ExternalReference”, the Concept Description is shown in the property as expected.
