Hi,

I am using the flowable Web UI modeler and need to model data objects as part of the process. I have been browsing around, but can’t find a way to extend the palette with data objects.

Hope someone could help me with the following:

- How can extend the stencil to show data objects in the palette?
- Where is the stencilset\_bpmn.json file?
- Do I need a JSON converter?

Thanks so much.

-Peter

When we proposed support for data objects, we added UI capabilities to both the web UI and the Eclipse Designer. When Activiti upgraded the UI, the support was lost.I have opened an issue and will take a look when I can since I added the initial support.
