Setting severity to "medium" as the user is able to work with the designer. The issue may cause usability issues. as of version 6.3.0 this is still unsolved. I do not understand that this is put to medium, it makes modelling a pain You can use Reusable subprocess to achieve what you are looking for. Reusable subprocess has the "+" sign at the bottom which is clickable and you can define a reusable process asset to link to. Once linked clicking on the "+" sign will open that asset in a new tab. (In reply to Tihomir Surdilovic from comment #4) > You can use Reusable subprocess to achieve what you are looking for. > Reusable subprocess has the "+" sign at the bottom which is clickable and > you can define a reusable process asset to link to. Once linked clicking on > the "+" sign will open that asset in a new tab. 1) reusable process should be as the name says, a global subprocess, not a subprocess which is similar to a private method call. Furthermore the reusable subprocess has no +, but a bold border and no possibility to open a drawing as you describe (which is as defined in the BPMN 2.0 specification). 2) in BPMN2 1.1.2 plugin it works, in the BPMN2 1.2.1 version, the subprocess can no longer be pushed down / up. though the + tends to disappear and is anyway not clickable. 3) even in push down the subprocess does not allow participant/lane items. all stuff which is part of BPMN 2.0 (referring to Bruce Silvers "BPMN 2.0" book). 4) Why this push down removed in 1.2.x? btw. using eclipse mars and the mars version of the plugin's I am confused somewhat. The BZ title states "in jBPM web designer" - are we talking about Designer or Eclipse modeler here? The reusable subprocess in the web Designer works like it is stated in the spec and it does have the + sign which is clickable so I am not sure what's going on here. oops you are right. i talk about the eclipse diagram editor. seems to have the same problem described here. searching this bug trace came up sorry for the confusion. Do you know about this in the eclipse diagram editor? Changed title from 'jBPM Web Designer' to '...Eclipse BPM Editor'. Created attachment 1107044 [details]
embedded subprocess
Hello Karl, please see highlighted buttons in the attachment 1107044 [details] and use them for expanding, collapsing and opening sub process in new tab. It is feature you are looking for?
I think it works properly, the only difference against web jBPM designer is in placement of given expand/collapse buttons.
Hi Jozef Thankx, I mixed up the web designer with the eclipse designer. |
Created attachment 868604 [details] Screenshots of jBPM web designer and JBDS Description of problem: Currently it is not possible to collapse/expand the "embedded sub-process" activity in jBPM web designer; the collapse/expand function seems to be missing in the UI. When using JBDS it is possible to expand/collapse. Without the "expand/collapse" function in jBPM web designer the activity is completely unusable, because the reason for using this activity (thus simplifying a complex process diagram) cannot be achieved at all. Please also have a look at the attached screenshots. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.0.0 GA How reproducible: Yes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new Process Definition in jBPM web designer. 2. Create a new embedded sub-process (Subprocesses --> Embedded) Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
