Summary	0005741: Converting a label type into an object type loses data and breaks the diagram
Description	When converting a label type into an object type (nominalize), several problems occur: Some fact types that referenced the value stay linked to the leftover label type instead of the new object type, and their example population is not carried over. The new object type shows an empty population even though the values exist - they only appear after opening and closing the population editor. In the diagram the connections to the value point at the label type instead of the new object type. Hiding the label type (or hiding both the object type and the label type together) freezes the application.

Marco Wobben 2026-07-09 23:18 administrator ~0008492	Fixed. Nominalizing a label type into an object type could previously fail to update the diagram or copy the population. It now works reliably: every fact type that used the value is re-linked to the new object type, the object type is populated with the union of those values immediately (no longer only after opening and closing the population editor), the diagram draws the connections to the object type instead of the leftover label, and hiding the label type or the object type no longer freezes the application.
