Requirement for Java API's to support Display Options

Hello Team,

We are trying to configure Display Options through our custom-developed plugin, but we are unable to find the corresponding Java APIs to achieve the required functionality. Below are the scenarios where API support is needed:

Scenario 1: Activity Diagram -> Swimlane -> Right Click -> Display Options -> Show Type (Check box), our plugin should set the value as "False", but we could not identify a property to assign this value.

Scenario 2: Activity Diagram -> Swimlane -> Right Click -> Display Options -> Display Format (Drop down), our plugin should set the value as "None", but we could not identify a property to assign this value.

Scenario 3: Activity Diagram -> Action -> Right Click -> Display Option -> General -> Display Format (Drop down), our plugin should set the value as "Operation without Owner", but we could not identify a property to assign this value.

Scenario 4: Block Definition Diagram -> Block(i.e LogicalElement) -> Right Click -> Compartments
We need to create the compartments for ProxyPort and Operation, However, we could not find any property to assign the "Inherited" and "Show" values.

As an enhancement request, we would like to propose adding Java API support to enable these configurations through plugins.

Thank you!

    Along with the above scenarios we are trying to use the graphical properties of "ProxyPort" and "OperationsDisplay". While these properties updates the diagram, but the compartments are not being displayed in the Compartments view for each individual diagram element. (Enhancement added based on the suggestion from the IBM case: TS020348496 - https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/case/500gJ000004cSFVQA2/unable-to-create-the-compartments-in-display-option-window?language=en_US
