In the Concept Modeling interpretation of UML, subsetting a property creates a subproperty when the subsetting property has a different name than the subsetted property (see section Subproperty). UML provides a {subsets} constraint that asserts that the values within a subsetting property are also in the set of values within a subsetted property. The concept modeling profile interprets a subproperty as a subsetting property that has a different name.
To add a subproperty
Drag and drop a subsetted property, e.g. has children, onto a property, e.g. has jane.Image Removed

Note
The property is owned by the class at the opposite end of the association. Additionally, the target can have the same name as the source, or can be unnamed. The resulting redefined property's multiplicity is adjusted to conform to the multiplicity of the dragged, subsetted property.
To add a subproperty
Drag and drop a subsetted property, e.g. has children, onto a property, e.g. has john.

To create multiple subproperties
Drag and drop different subsetted properties, e.g. has children and has toys, onto a property, e.g. has jane.
See the same menu appear as in the first set of instructions here. Click Create subproperty.
Your final result should look like the following.
To remove a specific subproperty
Right-click on the newly created subproperties. Select Concept Modeling > Remove subproperty.
The property's specification window appears with the Subsetted Property field already selected.
