Hi, Ronan,
No, a stereotype cannot change the default values of the attributes of
the elements that they extend.
However, your stereotype can define a well-formedness constraint (an
"invariant") that requires the isReadOnly attribute of the extended
property to be true. The model checker/validator in your tool should be
able to evaluate that constraint (I'm fairly certain that the Eclipse
UML2 sample UML editor can do it). Additionally, your application can
set the isReadOnly attribute of any new property on which this
stereotype is applied.
HTH,
Christian

The use-case for this is that every UML Property in my model that has this Stereotype applied should have the isReadOnly value set to true by default. Is this possible to define in UML2?

Hi,
I have a UML Profile with a Stereotype. The Stereotype has a property base_Property whose type is <<metaclass>> <Class> Property.

I can use my application code to set it. I'll put on the OCL constraint also for good measure!
