Even if i put a false or #{false} in there, the transitions are executed :?:

#{requiresValidation eq "true"} is the way to go.

My Problem was, that i used a (not shown) parallel-gateway, and according to the docu, Conditional Transitions on a Gateway are ignored.
Well, once Problem Solved - like 50 new Ones: How to handle all my conditional Transitions without connecting em to gateways ? :shock:
Applying a (Dummy-)Service task to each gateway with an conditional outcome? :? :shock:

Conditions on a parallel gateway are ignored. Use an exclusive gateway…

Indeed. Or just let the sequence flow leave the step directly, without gateway. The default semantics of BPMN 2.0 is to take all outgoing sequence flow which have a 'true' condition.
