    Description:
    Current Text:
    Only in and inout Parameters may have a delete effect. Only out, inout, and return Parameters may have a create effect.

  • Reported: UML 2.4.1 — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UML 2.5
  • Disposition Summary:

    The issue arises from a mistaken impression that an inout parameter requires the same value to go in and
    out. Correct the text to avoid giving this impression.
    This also resolves 18759.
