Extending built in stereotypes in a profile?

[Nick Webb]

Hi all,

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere but i'm not having much luck with the search results...

I've a little experience in creating profiles and MDG Technologies, but wish to create a new profile, adding some tagged values to the existing BPMN BusinessProcess stereotype.  

I can select an Activity for a metaclass, but not BusinessProcess (which I kind of expected to see if "Include extended" is checked).  Currently, my options appear to be:

1. Create a stereotype named "BusinessProcess" and synch tagged values to update elements created from BPMN toolbox
2. Create a stereotype with a different name and change the stereotype for an existing BPMN element then synch.

I have yet to find a method of defining a stereotype to inherit the existing tags available with BusinessProcess and drag and drop elements from the resources pane

Can anyone confirm whether the above is correct and if stereotypes can be defined to extend existing stereotypes in this way?  The profile should be as easy to use as possible for new EA users, when developed.

Cheers

Nick
