    Can't edit 'external width' in main Entity Modeler view when a prototype is defined
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                     Key: WOL-1063
                     URL: http://issues.objectstyle.org/jira/browse/WOL-1063
                 Project: WOProject/WOLips
              Issue Type: Improvement
              Components: wolips
        Affects Versions: WOLips 3.3.2.* (nightly build please specify)
             Environment: 10.6/WOLips nightly 5866
                Reporter: Clark Mueller

    * SUMMARY
    I define a varchar prototype that doesn't specify the external width; I prefer to specify this for each attribute. If I create an attribute using this prototype, you can only specify the width using the Properties view. You cannot do so in the main Entity Modeler view; the field will be not editable. This can be a bit of an annoyance if you're putting together a new model, since everything else in the Entity Modeler view is editable. Note that the problem also occurs if a width is specified for the prototype. You still cannot override it without going to the Properties view.

    * STEPS TO REPRODUCE
    (1) Define a prototype for a java.lang.String that does or does not specify the width.
    (2) Attempt to edit the External Width in the Entity Modeler view.
    (3) You cannot.

    * EXPECTED RESULTS
    Attribute width should always be editable in the Entity Modeler view.

    * ACTUAL RESULTS
    Attribute width not editable in the Entity Modeler view.
