How are groups of connected items with the same conflict type handled?

If items are connected and a large part of the source or target model was modified in the same way, the complex conflict Groups of connected items with the same conflict type arises. It consists of simple conflicts of the same type. For this type of complex conflict, you can make the decision for the connected items as a whole. The decision then automatically applies to the subordinate conflicts.

The subordinate conflicts are hierarchically displayed and can be edited individually.

The following conflict types exist:

Objects in containers

The following graphic illustrates the case of a group of items added to the target model. The conflict is highlighted in red.

Group conflict - 1

The following graphic illustrates the case of a group of items added to the source model by the model transformation. The conflict is highlighted in red.

Group conflict - 2

Please note that individual model items with an existing simple conflict are not displayed as a complex group conflict, but as a simple conflict. In the previous example, the connection from F1 to F2, which is marked as deleted in the source (Removed), is such a group consisting of only one item.

Cross-container conflicts are not included in the identification of this category of complex conflicts. For example, if the lane Alice in the first graphic had been added by the model transformation it would not be part of the complex conflict.
