Synchronize stereotype not available for hidden toolbox items
« on: December 12, 2022, 10:07:31 pm »
I have a set of similar element stereotypes that offer the choice to the user of which one to use when dropped onto a diagram using the ishidden attribute to create a hidden sub-menu from the toolbox. I have now changed the definition of those stereotypes to add a new tagged value. Right-clicking on the toolbox item does not offer the usual "Synchronize stereotype" option. There is no toolbox on which the stereotypes of those tools are available individually.

So how can a user update their model to have the new stereotype applied when new elements are created? The only instructions I can find refer to right click on a profiled element in the toolbox, as I've tried.

You probably should state your EA version.

since v15 you can also see all (and synchronize) stereotypes in the resources tab under your MDG.
Otherwise you can use a script: https://github.com/GeertBellekens/Enterprise-Architect-VBScript-Library/blob/master/Framework/Tools/UML%20Profile/Synchronize%20Steretoypes.vbs
