How to use stereotyped notes on state diagram

Question

For state diagram I would like to use stereotyped notes , e.g. like so:

@startuml
skinparam noteBackgroundColor #lightblue
skinparam noteBackgroundColor<<stereotyped>> #lightpink

note <<stereotyped>>  right of state1 : "test_text2"
note  left of state2 :  "test_text1"

state state1 : has stereotyped notes
state state2 : has notes
@enduml

But this does not work and I get syntax errors.
Is there any way to make it also work ?

I gave your code a go in the online web server and got: http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/VSn12i8m48NXVKxnY2UeIobTw44ascaDYPamUGMzlHG5qKNt__Ut54iD5kueIZc6QvfDbpAUDAjXb-DyuoKluZR3lcyK4-MpoZWC7rTZIMwjWImJeHCQ0wN30V2KnZFbmSw_e_y9R9tyg2_QU_S2

So which version of plantuml are you using?
What are the error messages you get ?

EDIT:

Later on OP has clarified, problem due to missing lines:

state state1 : has stereotyped notes
state state2 : has notes 

in original example (have been added to question).

Thank you for your reply.
My description was not enough, sorry.
Error occurs when the state is added stereotyped notes.

e.g.

Answer 1

Is there any update on this?

I have the same issue in state diagrams.

I also tried the new (beta) style syntax but get the same error:

@startuml
skinparam useBetaStyle true
<style>
  note {
    BackgroundColor #ccffff
  }

  .Blue{
    BackgroundColor LightBlue
  }

</style>
state Test1
note right of Test1 : This is a note
note <<Blue>> left of Test1 : This is a note

@enduml

Error found in diagram states-1
ERROR
14
Syntax Error?
Some diagram description contains errors

Hello M. and A.,

The current syntax, for state diagram, seems to be:

note  right of state1 <<stereotyped>>: "test_text2"

[click...]

And:

note left of Test1 <<Blue>>: This is a note

[click...]

Regards,
If that can help,

Hello All,

Then that is :

• OK by skinparam
• but KO by stereotype style.

Perhaps stereotype style is not yet implemented on State diagram?

Yes that seems to work, but not on lines/arrows

````
@startuml
skinparam noteBackgroundColor #lightblue
skinparam noteBackgroundColor<<stereotyped>> #lightpink

note  right of state1 <<stereotyped>>: "test_text2"
note  left of state2 :  "test_text1"

state state1 : has stereotyped notes
state state2 : has notes
state1 -> state2
'does not work
note on link <<stereotyped>>: TestNote

Hello All,

Then 'stereotyped notes' on State diagram is :

• OK by skinparam for normal note
• KO by skinparam for note on link
• and KO by stereotype style.

@PlantUML: is it necessary or not to open a new defect?
