My Issue/Suggestion

Hi I found some error at -> 4. Configuring a Generalization

I used this codes

const generalization = domainmodels.Generalization.createIn(customer);
const systemUser = workingCopy.model().findEntityByQualifiedName(Administration.Account);
generalization.generalization = systemUser;

but It was not work.

I suggest this:

const generalization = domainmodels.Generalization.createIn(customer);
const systemUser = model.findEntityByQualifiedName(Administration.Account);
if (systemUser) {
generalization.generalization = systemUser;
} else {
console.log('error: systemUser not found');
}

Thank you.

Now I study https://docs.mendix.com/apidocs-mxsdk/mxsdk/finding-things-in-the-model/ page, and I can't use workingCopy.model() also here.
Please tell me what I did wrong 😭Thank you!

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you.
Thanks for the information and the clear description of the issues you were having. And for letting us have the proposed solution.
Looking at the documentation, I see that a change was made at almost exactly the same time as you raised this. Have a look at #9312 which updates the documentation.
I believe that the code which was in the document used to work but that the classes were updated and so this update was needed.

I hope the changes in the PR address your concerns, and I apologize again for the delay in getting back to you.
Please do let us know if you see any other pieces of documentation which could be improved.
Thanks for wanting to make the Mendix documentation better.
Yours
Mark
