Description Pierre-Charles David CLA 2016-06-14 04:16:58 EDT
For Sirius 4.0 we have a very minimal and low-level mechanism (the "input" variable and related services) to allow property views rules to be made dependent on the current Sirius context (representation, viewpoints enabled, etc.). It is still very raw and difficult to use in practice.

We should look into other, higher-level mechanisms to make the properties views depend on the context. For example, it should be easy for a widget or a section to appear or not depending on the activation of a viewpoint, or even a filter on a diagram.
