There are many options how to set attribute type. You may type it, set it in the Properties dialog or drag another element from your project and set it as the type. The last option is described in this tutorial.

If you want to set a type of an attribute to a classifier from your project, you may drag the classifier and drop it over the attribute. You may drag the attribute from:

Project Tree
Diagram

Drag and Drop from Project Tree

Yes, it is, but instead of using left mouse button while dragging you have to use the right mouse button. Then drag the desired classifier from diagram to the desired attribute. A context menu will show. Choose Set Type item from the menu. The attribute type will be changed to the dragged classifier.
