Today I have tried to override the default Properties view contribution in the Sirius editor for an EClass. Based on the documentation from https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/specifier/properties/Properties_View_Description.html#extensibility_features, I have found the following paragraph: "For each Filter expression, a variable is available which represents the element which could be filtered. It is possible to filter all the inherited elements by just returning false all the time. In this case, the elements defined under the current description overrides the elements defined in the extended description." I have understood this if I don't want to have the default contribution available at all, I have to provide the 'aql:false' string for the corresponding field. However, this was incorrect, I had to add the 'aql:true' value to filter out all parent groups. I suggest eiher replacing the returning false part to return true; or reword the text if I misunderstood its intention.
Indeed, this part is confusing and should be reworded more clearly.
We're very short on time to finish 6.1.0, so moving everything non-essential to 6.1.1.
