RSA-RTE: Cross model references not updated when refactoring these; create button

See PMR: TS001239396.
Symptom: .emx files are not correctly updated immediately after a refactor
How to reproduce:
Open any .emx model editor and go to the "References" tab. Press refresh.
Next locate a dependency from another model to this model and refactor that other model so it no longer has any such dependency.

Save all.
Press refresh again.
Note that that the dependency from the other model towards this model is still shown.
Restart the workspace and load all models.

Open the .emx editor again and press refresh on the "References" tab.
Note that the dependency originating from the other model is now gone.


So the inter model references are not updated when deleting such references. The tool must be restarted before such changes are updated. This may lead to incorrect commits.

IBM response:
The reason that this editor is not live updated when references are removed, is that this would have an impact on performance. Development team recommends that you open an RFE to get a "Refresh" button for this editor.

So the request is add a 'Refresh' button.

    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.
