Copy of existing Stereotype definition
« on: August 21, 2007, 06:53:29 pm »
Because of the current stereotyping architecture within EA, you often have to make several copies of a stereotype applicability into different base classes.

(I have previously suggested an enhancement [size=13]New Applies to Base Class list entries[/size] to improve the situation)

Notwithstanding that the first proposal hasn't been implemented yet, it would make life a lot easier if you could copy an existing entry and then make the necessary changes and save.

Thoughts? Votes?

plus a consistent way to copy/paste/edit/delete elements, attributes, methods, tags, transformation patterns, etc...

Yes.

At the same time Sparx might revisit the stereotype dialog to make it less touchy about merely viewing a stereotype.
No, you can't have it!
