Why modeler creates bpmn 1.0 files instead of 2.0?

BPMN & Modeling Discussion & Questions

Hi,

I have the latest Modeler version 3.1.0 Mac version.
Whenever I create a new BPMN flow, it creates BPMN 1.0 compatible XML instead of 2.0.

What It creates:

<bpmn:definitions>

What I want:

<bpmn2:definitions>

I couldn’t find a way to save those files in BPMN 2.0 format either.
Any idea?

Thanks

Hi,

bpmn or bpmn2 is just the alias of the namespace, it could be any name. More important is what this alias points to, so in case bpmn is used, you should have an entry like xmlns:bpmn="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL" in your model’s header. If http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL is the url it points to, it is a BPMN 2.0 model. On a side note, Camunda modeler can only export BPMN 2.0 models.

Cheers,
Thorben
