Add Custom Child
Children of any type of object or variable can be added in this dialog. If a child is not a part of the parents type, the child will not have a modelling rule.
Enter data for your new child to the left side of the dialog. Press the Add button when done. You can add multiple children in this dialog. The new children are listed in the table below the Add button. New children are not created before you press the Ok button.
An overview of the child’s type is visible at the right hand-side of the dialog. It is also possible to select optional children, change types and create custom ids in the type overview. (Custom ids presuppose that the target namespace requires this).
