Odd behavour when adding XML-defined objects about opcua-modeler HOT 7 OPEN

I am not entirely sure to understand but if you create a new object of type pump it is expected that the pump object also contains ManufacturerName and ModelName since the Pump object inherits FieldDevice.
Id you create an object of type FieldDevice, it should only have two properties.

But what is strange in your screenshots is that the properties have a T on them, that means that they are types....I think they should not.... might be a bug at open62541 tooo

thanks, oroulet! I wasn't aware that the subnodes in Objects Type mean inheritance. The fact that variables remain type is a separate issue. I will have a look and will open a new issue if it comes from the modeler.

Can you start with a brand new address space in modeler and hand build these types. Build the pump type, then build the device type and put the pump inside it. Then instantiate the device type as an object in your folder.

I do not really agree with @oroulet as I think you should get a copy of your device type structure, not the strange inheritance you are showing. Unless your XML has extra stuff which is creating the inheritance.

In the past when building types in modeler, I would always get an exact copy of the type structure when instantiated.

@zerox1212, in a new address space, the results are similar. A pump objects inherits the properties of the device ObjectType, and a device object doesn't consist of any pumps. If I create another Device2 ObjectType, and put a Pump Object in, the device2 object still has no pump in it.

Are the variables that constitute the ObjectType supposed to be of type Variable or DataType? In the open62541 example the names are DataTypes, while in opcua-modeler, I could set only variables.

Interesting. I'll have to dig up my old projects and test it. I don't remember that happening, but I haven't been working with UA for a long time.

In my last project I had type Variable under my objects, not type.

@kleskjr i am quite sure the open62541 example is broken. Look at other object typed in standard address space and open bug report for them
