Table Stereotype
« on: December 18, 2012, 04:26:18 am »
I would like to create a special stereotype for a Data Model Table that has a number of standard tagged values I would like to capture.  Following the Help instructions, I created a UML profile with a stereotype that extends the Table meta-class and added a number of attributes.  I can now use that stereotype in my Data Model and fill out the tagged values.  Unfortunately, when I try to add columns to that table, it won't allow me to select a data type (list is empty).  I tried to update the Database Type, but it doesn't seem to work.  

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I guess the EA supplied table stereotype has some magic which EA will not allow to apply to a different table stereotype. So you're probably lost. Either use that of EA with column magic or you have to create a complex MDG to do a similar thing for your table too.
