Title: Create read-only tag in an UML profile
Post by: Boron on September 14, 2018, 11:58:39 pm

Hello,
does anybody know how to make a tag read-only?

We created an own UML profile with some stereotypes for classes.
For one stereotype I would like to make one tag "read-only". The tag has a default value, and it would be nice if the user, who creates a class of such a stereotype cannot change the value of that tag.

You can create a workflow script that return false to method CanEditTag when the name of the tag match your criteria.

Simons approach worked well.
Many thanks for that.
