[oXygen-user] How to inform the tool that generates sample instances which subtype to use for elements have abstract types?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Roger,

There is a "Type alternative strategy" setting in the "Options" tab. But 
I'm not sure if it helps or not. If you send us (support at oxygenxml.com) 
a small  sample XML Schema and some details maybe we can consider this 
for a future version.

Regards,

Radu
