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,

The "Insert Related Elements" Feature has nothing to do with MDG. It's really not clear what you are trying to achieve here - Mart10
I want to connect some elements together, once I drag and drop the main element the all sub-elements are displayed at the "insert related elements". - abdel-kader Magdy
Then the MDG is completely unrelated, all elements with a relationship to your "main" element will be in the insert related elements window. This is part of the traceability features: sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/13.0/… and sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/13.0/… - Mart10
I will check it, thank u sir for ur helping - abdel-kader Magdy

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:

enter image description here

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