Sorry, late night post... When I create a profile, I frequently use the stereotype connector for tagged-value and using the connector's target role, this results in the source element having a tagged value added with that roles name.
Class connector target rolename Class
[cvTerm] ----------<tagged value>----------------------{glossaryMembership}->[cvGlossary]
When the profile is generated, dropping cvTerm class on diagram allows you to use the ... picker control to select the stereotype cvGlossary...
Type=RefGUID;Stereotypes=cvGlossary;
Setting the multiplicity on the role, will allow you to select multiples....
SO I use stereotypes for a taxonomy (package for the Taxonomy, class for the Entry in the Taxonomy)
taxPackage.Colors; taxEntry: Red; taxEntry: Yellow; taxEntry: Green (placed under Colors)
use the same approach, set your multiplicity on the role for your selection (e.g. ColorChoices)
Access the TV click the "..." to activate the picker, use the Ctrl key to allow multiple selections... navigate and select...
Sometimes in a Taxonomy, you might have Category and Entry (leafs)... Example in my Taxonomy for Non-Functional Requirement Types, I only allow for the selection of a leaf, but I want the taxonomy to have depth.... so I use class stereotypes of category and entry... restrict to Entry if you want them to select a Leaf, restrict to Category if you want them to have both.... Leaf is specialized into Category.... (so they can pick either...)
DOES that make it clearer? I would have included a picture, but can't figure out how to do that?!!
NOTE: KP Posted the steps for the tagged-value way to select multiple elements via the GUID way back in 2013 (copied steps from that post)
1. Go Settings > UML Types > Tagged Values Types and create a new tagged value type called "locations" with detail "Type=RefGUIDList;Values=Class;Stereotypes=Location;"
2. Create a package with «profile» stereotype. Give it a diagram.
3. On the diagram, drop a stereotype element with an extends association to a metaclass element. When the dialog appears for the metaclass, choose "Requirement".
4. Give the stereotype class an attribute named "locations".
5. Save the profile.
6. Go Tools > Generate MDG Technology File and follow the wizard's instructions. When asked what to include in the technology, tick the options for Profiles and Tagged Value Types. Select the profile saved in step 5 and the tagged value type saved in step 1.
7. Go Settings > MDG Technologies > Advanced > Add > Add Path and add the path where you saved your technology file.
8. Find your profile in the toolbox and drop a stereotyped requirement on a diagram: it should have your RefGUIDList tagged value.
The taxonomy stuff above is pretty basic stuff Package, containts elements, the steps above to create the taggedvalue to do the multiselect just has to be modified to constrain you to the stereotype of the element you are using to represent the available choices... KP used :"locations", my example was "colors"
