Hi,

I want to make a template stablishing a element documentation in the xml → bpmn:documentation

I try with a property in a template like this:

{
“label”: “documentation”,
“type”:“Text”,
“value”:“Doc example”,
“binding”: {
“type”: “property”,
“name”: “documentation”
}

But doesn’t works

Best Regards,

Nacho

Hi @Ignacio_Requena_Elvi,

do you want that the documentation field is visible, or do you want to set a predefined value for the documentation?

If you only want, that the properties field for the documentation is visible, you can use this code in your template:

{
    "name": "...",
    "id": "com.camunda.example....",
    "appliesTo": [
        "bpmn:ServiceTask"
    ],
    "entriesVisible": {
        "documentation": true
    },
    "properties": [
    {
      ...
    }
  ]
}

Michael

Hi @Ignacio_Requena_Elvi,

here is the Github project for the Element Templates with an explanation of the usage. I don’t think that setting a predefined value for the documentation is allready possible at the moment. I tried several things on my own but couldn’t set a value for the documentation.
If you really need this feature you can add it on your own or extend the project with a pull request.

Regards
Michael

To bring that up again, does anyone know a solution to display a description of a template?

With the 4er Modeler there are a lot of great new things in the templates.

because of “Lost Forum Posts” here is the summary:

  • There is a description property inside the template json.
  • I created a feature request for a documenation property
