You are not limited to the proposed list, and any for(even invalid for the target language(s)) may be given. The button type shows a menu proposing :if the current type of the attribute is a class : to select this class in the browserif the attribute is not read-only and if a class is selected in the browser : to set the type to be this classif the view containing the class containing the attribute is not read-only : to create a new class and to set the attribute type to itNevertheless I stronglyrecommend you to not add type modifier (like *, & etc ...) with a class name in the UML tab because BOUML differentiate a reference toa class of the model and any other forms. Supposing you also have the class attribute stops defined (for C++) like this :the C++ generated code will be the desired one, but if you rename the class Stop, the type of the attribute stops will not be updated.Furthermore the C++ code generator will not see the usage of the type Stop and will not automatically generate class declaration and#include form for it.The good way may be :to say that stops is a Stop and modify the attribute definition in C++ to have a vectorto set the stereotype to vector and the multiplicity to *but the right way here is to use a relation with the stereotype vector and the multiplicity * because Stop is a classThe proposed stereotypes are the default ones specified through the Default stereotypes dialog more the current one (empty here).
