Tagged values based on stereotype for method in addin

[Slávek Rydval]

I have an MDG file with a profile with stereotypes inside, all of it is a part of an add-in. When I create a method with the appropriate stereotype, no tags are added. When I do a similar task with a class, it works fine. What's more, when I do it manually from the GUI as a user, it works correctly (both for a method and for a class). Am I missing something?

Code for adding a method:

Code: [Select]

       private static EA.Method CreateRestApiResourceOperation(EA.Element ResourceElement, OpenApiOperation Operation)
        {
            EA.Method result = ResourceElement.Methods.AddNew(Operation.OperationId, "");
            result.Stereotype = RestApiOperationMetaclass;
            result.Notes = Operation.Summary + "\n" + Operation.Description;
            result.Update();
            return result;
        }

Similar code for a class:

Code: [Select]

        private static EA.Element CreateResourceClass(string Name, OpenApiPathItem PathItem, EA.Package Parent)
        {
            EA.Element result = Parent.Elements.AddNew(Name, RestApiResourceMetaclass);
            result.Notes = PathItem.Summary + "\n" + PathItem.Description;
            result.Update();
            Parent.Update();
            return result;
        }

The profile in MDG file is pretty simple.

I just tried to assign to SterotypeEx and that worked.

P.S. But Stereotype also worked. So: wich version (I'm on 13.5)

I agree, stereotypeEx, with a fully qualified stereotype is the way to go.
Using Stereotype might fail if you have another stereotype defined somewhere (model, MDG, ...) with the same name.

Well, I found it.

There were two problems:

• As you mentioned, StereotypeEx is the proper way.
• There cannot be _metatype attribute for a stereotype that extends an operation metaclass in a profile.
