Hello,

I’d like to ask how its possible to access custom properties from some properties file from flowable modeler. Where should be located this file? Is it possible without custom implementation?  
My goal is separate dev and prod enviroment(some url’s are different ) and have these properties indepedent on enviroment. What is the best way to achieve it?

Thank you for any advice.  
Jakub

That would depend on your setup. If you’re using Spring (or Spring Boot) for example, all environment properties are accessible through the environment bean.
