Can't get forms to deploy as part of application exported from Modeler

Flowable Engine
2

The flowable-modeler application has 2 ways of exporting an app.

As deployable bar file

21

Clicking this creates a bar file which is the same resource that is used when doing a publish.

App definition as zip file

33

Clicking this creates a zip file which can be used to perform an import of an app within the flowable modeler

So it looks like when the Modeler app publishes an app it does something different from when it exports an app (looks like the file extensions are .form when doing a publish, but .json when doing an export, I think). Is this a bug, or is this behaviour by design?

Your analysis is correct and this is by design.

Hope this clears the confusion. We should probably add this to our documentation as well.

Cheers,
