Convert Type Class to Table with Javascript in Enterprise Architect
I'm trying to convert a Class to a Table using Javascript.
When I execute the following code (assuming currentElement is an Element), the Stereotype of the Class updates to "table", in which updates to Stereotype "table" and takes on a blue-purplish colour when viewed. But, the Type does not update.
currentElement.Stereotype = "table"
currentElement.Type = "Table"
currentElement.Update();
When I select the updated element in the project browser, I still see that it is Class : <name>. How can I convert perform a Type conversion Class to Table using scripting (specifically Javascript)?
Thanks!

A table in EA is a stereotyped Class element, so you only need to change the stereotype.
When setting stereotypes in the API it is best to use only the EA.Element.StereotypeEx field.
The following code will successfully set the correct stereotype:
currentElement.StereotypeEx = "EAUML::table";
currentElement.Update();
