Add Global Option in User Preferences Selecting Show compartments for Capsules and Protocols

RSA RT is missing a global option in user preferences for selecting "Show compartments" that are unique to capsules and protocols.

Under UML modelling for UML diagrams there is a dialog to select what compartments to show for Classifers so that the display of all the compartments can be disabled when a class is placed on a class diagram. Unfortunately, this feature does not extend to Capsules and Protocol which are also a type of classifer. Consequently when a user drags a capsule or a protocol onto a class diagram, the compartments for ports in Capsules or for In/Out events in Protocols are always displayed on the diagram by default, and there is no way to alter that default behavior. The user must manually disable the display of those compartments for each element placed on the diagram.

There should be additional sections under Real Time diagrams for classifier filtering that includes a "Show Compartments" and "Show Compartment Titles" for the compartments unique to Capsules and to Protocols. There should be a box to select Capsule ports, and there should be boxes to select Protocol In Events and Out Events. There should also be boxes for showing the corresponding compartment titles.

    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.

    I agree it's confusing that some of the preferences under Modeling - UML Diagrams - Class now apply for Capsules and that similar preferences are missing for Capsules and Protocols under UML Development - Real Time - Diagrams - Class. It's probably best to have completely separate preferences for capsules and protocols since the set of meaningful compartments for these are not the same as for general UML classifiers. We will look at adding such preferences for a future release.
