I'm building a business capability chain and sometime the name displayed keeps the internal name ...class10022 instead of the name of the associated capability? when I double click the information in the dialogue looks correct.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I drag a business capability
click the magnifying glass and add the capability
close the dialogue.

thanks

Sometimes, the Graph Widget that we use in Protege doesn't keep with these sorts of thing and I appreciate that this drawing error is annoying but you can work around it as follows.

You can change the name directly on the object (without opening it's form) and this sets the name in the form, too.
If you do define the name for the first time in the form itself, when you drag a relationship from that capability to another, then the names update on the diagram.

Note that the displayed name is simply a label for the diagram. It is important to map the object on the diagram to the actual capability required via its form but that name (which can sometimes be a bit over-long for the diagram) is not used.
