Enum Literals to be added as references rather than value by using rhapsody UI

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Enum Literals should be added as references when we add it using rhapsody UI

There is difference when we add enum Literals using UI and Java API

Using Java API's when we add literal to a model element they are added as reference, so if we change literal name then it is changed everywhere it is used in the project

Same kind of behavior we would like to have using UI, but for now if we add literal to a model element using UI and change its name, the change is not reflected in other elements

Steps To Reproduce :

I have created a list of Enums - "myLiteralA, myLiteralB, myLiteralC, myLiteralD, myLiteralFromJavaAPI" through UI
Then i proceed to apply this enums to MyBlock::MyTag,
while doing so, i added "myLiteralA and myLiteralB" through UI and "myLiteralFromJavaAPI" through JavaAPI. If you take a look at the default.sbsx file, you will notice that "myLiteralA and myLiteralB" are added as "ILiteralSpecification" whereas "myLiteralFromJavaAPI" is added as "IInstanceValue"

How this impacts?
If i update my Literal names, i.e, "myLiteralB" to "myLietralB_Test" and "myLiteralFromJavaAPI" to "myLiteralFromJavaAPI_test" and if you look that places where these literals are referred, you will find that literals that were added to Java API are updated and ones that were added through UI are not updated.
