Unclear scope of change -- more information required #312

Open MonikaKaczmarek opened 3 years ago

MonikaKaczmarek commented 3 years ago

although the changes to names, etc. are nicely propagated, a full scope of performed changes is not known to a user, e.g., that even if the role names are left default, and someone changes the name of the class, the name of the role will not be updated. It may also not be obvious for a user, that the relevant constraints need to be updated manually. A pop-up with a relevant info would be nice.

The constraints or other usages are a major issue themselves.

Changing role names by default as well may have side effects. (like: cannot rename class because some association somewhere would cause a name class with an access operation)

Anyway an information window could be nice, unless it's obtrusive.

Actually, an information window -- change done, for details see -- with a possibility to have a look what exactly has been changed, would be indeed nice.
