So … I’m looking at UML Distilled 3rd edition (excellent book BTW)
There’s a diagram that illustrates the following: Activity diagram with a <> expansion region with a list box pin. The pin is labelled “list of topics” in their example.
What’s called a “list box pin” in the book seems to be what is called an “expansion node” in VP UML. So far so good.
But how do I put a label on it please?
(What I’m really asking is…
I have an activity diagram with an <> expansion region. The activities in the region are supposed to take place for each connected client. Where do I put the “for each client” label?)
Do you min that you want to attach the expansion node to an Action? According to page 370 of UML specification, it said:
As a shorthand notation, the “list box pin” notation may be placed directly on an action symbol, replacing the pins of the action (Figure 12.83). This indicates an expansion region containing a single action. The equivalent full form is shown in Figure 12.84.
In the Activity Diagram(s) that has expansion node, right-click on the diagram background and select Presentation Options > Show State/Activity Diagram Node Caption > Expansion Node from the popup menu to enable the option. After that, you can double-click on an expansion node to enter its name.
You can also make this option persists by setting in the Options dialog:
