Best way to create a case instance from a process instance

Flowable Engine

Hi all,

What is the best way to integrate CMMN into BPMN ?
In my process definition, I want to create a case instance (from a case model) but it seems that no “case task” exists for BPMN engine ?

Regards,
Christophe

Hi Christophe,

Good question. We started with providing the functionality for the other way around, so starting a process instance from a case instance. But you are right that we should also provide a way to easily start a case instance from a process instance. Could you create a Github issue for this, so we can make sure it gets implemented and we can track progress?

Best regards,

Tijs

Hi @tijs, has this functionality been introduced in the last versions? I would really appreciate to be able to start a case from a process.

Thanks,

Hi Narcisa,

Yes a case task is available in the BPMN engine to start a case from a process.
