Sorry If I am completly the wrong track
I have a stereotype X with an attibute Fred
I make an element Y from that stereotype <<X>> appears in that element and gets a tagged value Fred
if I change the stereotype changing the attibute Fred to Joe nothing happens to the element Yill has the tagged value Fred and does not have a tagged value Joe.
I am essentially trying to use the stereotype as a class and the element as an instace of that stereotype . I am probably on the wrong track.
The overall purpose is to relate use cases against functions from a function point count. ( I know there is a use case metric facility supported by EA and what I am attempting might not be a good Idea but bear with me) . The proposal is to create a Function stereotype and link functions ( created from that sterotype) to usecases via a connector that describes how the function points of the function should be attributed to the use case ( eg 50% of the function points)
SO the original problem comes about by me whanting to know how to manage consequential change if I change my Function stereotype.
Possibly it is the intential not to facilitate consequential change which I can live with. Howeveer may be I should be using somthing else other than stereotypes. see also "custom element types"
