Can i assign some custom properties inside process def.?

[tomcheng76]

Hi,

I cannot find a way to assign custom properties to a process definition in the bpmn20.xml files.

This is the use case:

There is a process called "BorrowBook" which belongs to System "library".

I want to attach something like

<property id="system" value="library" />

inside the bpmn20.xml files under the process tag.

I know User Task and I can assign the process to a candidate group.

However, I just want to classify the processes so i can display them easily even if I have 10000000 process definitions……….

The classification is different to permission stuff, they are groups of processes, but not specifying who can access what process…

Can i use itemDefinition, resources or DataObject ??

Please provides example as i am BPMN newbie totally…

Comments are welcomed.

Thanks in advance

you can use the extensions mechanism of bpmn.

you can use the extensions mechanism of bpmn.

Do you mean
1.Extension
2.ExtensionDefinition
3.ExtensionAttributeDefinition
4.ExtensionAttributeValue

?
Can you provide a simple xml example + api to retrieve them ?
