I don't want to tie people to the outline view. I already explained the rationale of why in the last post. Classes should be treated like everything else and be editable by inspectors. I, personally, think the Outline view in Gorm should be done away with as it would eliminate this confusion.

I will not approve #3. The user should have multiple ways of editing the class. The outline editor should not be the only way. It is consistent to treat a class the same way we do objects via an inspector. On Fri, Dec 20, 2019, 11:08 AM Gregory Casamento wrote: > Please create a branch to be
