#583 Adding new attribute fails in Roma schema generation

[Martin Holmes]

This is a bug report from Julia Flanders:

One of the participants in the DHSI introduction to TEI workshop discovered what I think may be a bug in Roma, affecting the creation of new attributes. The resulting ODD uses @mode="change" rather than @mode="add" on the <attDef> for the new attribute, and the resulting schema thus does not actually include the attribute.

Below is a test ODD, and here's what I did to generate it:

1. In Roma, choose "Build up..."
2. Clicked on Modules and kept the default set
3. Clicked on the textstructure module in the list of selected modules
4. For the <div> element, clicked on its "change attributes" link
5. Clicked on "Add new attributes" at the top of the screen
6. Named the attribute "test", non-optional, no default value, closed list, with a list of values "one,two,three" and a brief description.
7. Clicked save on that screen and also the Added Attributes screen
8. Saved the customization and downloaded an RNC schema (see below).

Here's the ODD:

Julia also reports that both she and the student were using Firefox, and she has been able to reproduce the bug several times.

Technical Council discussion 11/13 decided that this would be classified as closed/wontfix, because Roma isn't being maintained at the moment.
