Stereotypes filter support on the Insert Related Elements
« on: April 12, 2018, 10:25:37 pm »
It would be useful to add to the "Insert Related Elements" Connector types and Element types, a filter on Stereotypes e.g. to select "ABC" stereotyped classes that are associated with the current element.
It would also make sense to include the Stereotype on the Field chooser.

Metatypes too, please!  We're trying to wean our users off stereotypes - which in our MDG are quite cryptic and move them to metatypes.

Did you even look at what was being requested? It's used metatypes for years.

My Bad, I was only looking at the column headings (which, of course, on reflection, includes both Types and Metatypes)
