[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-1617?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Ramesh Reddy commented on TEIIDDES-1617: ---------------------------------------- So, what is stopping the user from using that right now? If you are just looking pre-populated for metadata, user can easily cut/copy the view definition from source model and copy that into a view model and hack it away! Doing something like that by default seems wrong. What you are asking is way to create Base Layer based on source model where you can select choice of foreign tables. Designer already creates a way to create the base layer, I do not know if Designer lets the user select choice of tables rather than converting the whole model. If we do not have that feature that may be something Designer could do. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
