How to Create a Hierarchy of Elements Generated Automatically in Sparx Enterprise Architect

I am using Sparx Enterprise Architect for the modeling process.

I created a custom requirements toolbox which is called security requirements based on a list of security standards using MDG technology.

I would like to create a hierarchy of requirements once the user drag-and-drop the main element into the workspace all sub-elements (requirements) are displayed automatically.

How I can create or design something similar to this process.

Thanks,

  • You need to define a _subtypeProperty in your metatype like described in EA's documentation

    As always with EA you need some try-and-error to get it working. You might compare with BPMN2 Activity which offers such a menu:

    The according MDG is located under EA's program folder in the MDGTechnologies. Just find the string _subtypeProperty and following taskType.
