relation archetypes in dynamic views

[abalabchenkov]

Expected

I would expect that new relations archetypes feature would also work in dynmaic view, but it does not

Actual

Too many tokens, expected: [order:] <identifier> [description] at line 31: a --request-> b

Steps to reproduce

workspace {

    model {
        archetypes {
            https = -> {
                technology "HTTPS"
            }
            reqest = -> {
                tags request
            }
            response = -> {
                tags response
            }
        }
        a = softwareSystem "A"
        b = softwareSystem "B"
        a --https-> b "Makes APIs calls using"
    }
views {

    systemLandscape main {
    	include *
	    autoLayout tb
    }
    
    dynamic * demo {
      a --request-> b
      b --response-> a
      autoLayout tb
    }
  }
}

If you unwrap what you're trying to do with archetypes in dynamic views, that isn't supported either ... i.e. adding tags isn't supported for relationships in dynamic views.

workspace {

    model {
        archetypes {
            https = -> {
                technology "HTTPS"
            }
            reqest = -> {
                tags request
            }
            response = -> {
                tags response
            }
        }
        a = softwareSystem "A"
        b = softwareSystem "B"
        a --https-> b "Makes APIs calls using"
    }
views {

    systemLandscape main {
    	include *
	    autoLayout tb
    }
    
    dynamic * demo {
      a -> b {
          tags request
      }
      b -> a {
          tags response
      }
      autoLayout tb
    }
  }
}

@simonbrowndotje Yes, you are right. Than it would be a feature request to consider. Styling is managed through tags, and different releationship styling mostly makes sense in dynamic and deployment views. These are the diagrams, where we usually need much more arrows to show having differerent meanings.
