RSA-RTE: Template class property view and treeview very confusing

Converting a RoseRT tempate class to RSARTE results in a very confusing treeview and property window (See screenshot).
This can probably be sovled with an RTE specific tab like Elena Strabykina suggested, however the three-view remains confusing:

?This is how it was initially designed. You have explicit binding for default value of Template parameters - in our example, this is class Class. Such binding allows template instantiations classes have their own descriptive name. This is consistent with UML2 standard and I absolutely agree the way of displaying them on the Tab is definitely unfortunate. User can not neither modify the name nor navigate to class Class. That is why this Tab should be improved.
This tab is general for RSA, usually we improve tabs by introducing RT specific tab where we can change data representation and functionality based on customer requests.
You can compare Attributes and Operations tab of RSA and RSA RT, as an example.?

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. Since the creation time of this ideas the product has evolved and your input may have been incorporated into newer releases.

    Should this be not the case, please feel free to recreate it in our new Idea workspace for DevOps Model and Code RealTime (Please find here a blog how to achieve that: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/wasdevops/blogs/osman-burucu/2024/01/04/how-to-add-new-idea-for-devops-model-architect-and)


    The idea will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may still be voted on. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.
