If you want to enable a stereotype as content for another stereotype, then assign it to the other stereotype as owner.
Context
When you assign a stereotype as Owner or Assigned Element of another stereotype, you specify which stereotype contents another stereotype can have.
The profile sections in the Relationships view contain the stereotypes set in the Stereotype view. You can assign the stereotypes which are permissible as contents to these stereotypes from a defined set using UML 2 specification. If the assigned stereotype is a directed relationship, you then need to assign it the target node/s.
To be able to actually create permissible elements in the model according to configuration, the corresponding create templates which are accessed in the menu need to be available.
Please note that elements which can be assigned to the menu are differentiated from owning elements. This means that e.g. a class needs to be permissible as a package's contents so that it can be added to both the menu in the class diagram and model. The package itself does not have a menu, but a class is stored in a package.
