Creating Attributes with a profile

[semmel]

I am creating a profile using attributes in the stereotype. These attributes are showing up as tagged values when I create an element based on the stereotype.

Is there a possibility to create element attributes (not tagged values) with the help of profiles ?

I hope its understandible what I want .

Thanks for any hint

I don't think you can.  It would be more appropriate to use a pattern to do this.

But Simon, how well do patterns work with profiles? What's involved in coordinating them, particularly if the pattern should apply only in the context of the profile?

Additionally what is with the maintenance of the resulting model. If a profile is updated I can apply the changes to the whole model, and when using a pattern ? Is it still maintainable ?
