Title: Tagged Values in stereotypes (818)
Post by: Mr. Sanders on November 03, 2007, 05:42:25 am

Hello,

on a stereotype in an UML profile, you can attach tagged values.

The Online Help tells me the following:
----------------
Stereotypes within a UML Profile can have one or more associated Tagged Values. When creating a UML Profile, you define these Tagged Values as attributes of the stereotype Class.
----------------

I have done it this way.
I added an attribute called "status" (int) with initial value 0.

But when I create an element of this stereotype in another project, the element neither has an attribute, nor a tagged value.

So what are these tagged values at a stereotype for and how do I get them in the target model?

Regards
Michael

I am having exactly the same issue. I want each component on one diagram to have about 20 tags for documentation purposes but cant seem to get EA to work as the help prescribes. I have followed the instructions on the help page Define Stereotype Tags with Predefined Tag Types

I have:

created the Tags
Added attributes to my Stereotype sysattribute with the same name as the predefined Tag
Extended the metaclass component with my Stereotype

Anyone that can shed some light on this problem I would geratly appreciate it.

AFAIK you have to create a profile, then import that profile into a model - that sounds a bit strange, but it is the way EA builds profiles - before you get the tags on a stereotype to show up that way.

You might have to set feature visibility on to see the tags.

Also, I've been having a few problems with newly-imported profiles in 818. When I can isolate the problems I'll report them to Sparx and post the details.

HTH, David

I have created a profile as per doco (Profile file content is below) but when I import into my project I cant see the stereotype from the profile, tags, etc. All I can see is the profile listed on the RESOURCES tab.

I created the Profile in my current project (tagged values etc), exported then deleted the pacgage from the project, saved then imported the project. I wonder if the issue is the Tagged values are in both the project and the profile?

Anyway, here is my UML Profile
[code]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hello,

Your <AppliesTo/> tags shouldn't be empty.
So it looks like either you've omitted the Extends association with the Metaclass you're after (Component presumably?), or it hasn't been exported properly.

I believe I have followed the instructions to the letter. Is there anywhere I can send my EAP file for a confirmation/solution. I just checksed and I am using build 815 if that makes any difference.
