call activity and calledElement

Using design 5.4, it seems that the calledElement parameter is not set callActivity elements. You can enter a value in the properties, but it is not written in the bpmn20.xml file. Also, when the value is written in the bpmn20.xml inside eclipse it is silently removed. You can put it there using an

I had the same problem.
It's a bug, which has been resolved in the trunk.
You can build Designer from the trunk and then it works.

Great.

How do I do that?
How would I install the locally built version in eclipse?

Thanks,

Please check this thread: How to build Designer from source

Checkout the Trunk and run the build.
Deinstall Designer and reinstall it from the org.activiti.designer.updatesite/target directory.

Looks like the issue is there again in the current Relese 5.12.0 with Eclipse Indigo.

Hi Frank,

I just tried to reproduce it, but couldn't. You don't see the calledElement attribute being written in the XML?

Hi Tijs,

I have a main process diagram with call activities and select a called element (process pool in another diagram, same project) for one of it.
after saving and then clicking somewhere else, the called element field is empty again.
In fact it worked for exactly one element, but I don't see any difference to the others.

I made some screenshots, but just realized that I cannot upload them here…

Thanks,

Frank

Hi Tijs,

just found out why it works for you, but not for me…
It works when you type in (or c&p) the Called Element into the text field,
but it doesn't work when using the "…" button and using the chooser-window.

Frank

Hi Frank,

No it also works fine when using the "…." button for me. So I really can't reproduce it.

Best regards,

Hi Tijs,

Thanks a lot for trying to reproduce it!!!
