We use Flowable Exception Mapping declarations und add them manually per XML-Editor to the bpmn, e.g.

```
<extensionElements>
<activiti:mapException
      errorCode="myErrorCode1">org.activiti.SomeException</activiti:mapException>

```

When opening the BPMN with the Flowable Designer and by changing/saving something, the exception mapping declarations are gone.

Is there any way to get around this? Will there be Exception Mapping Support in the Designer?

Regards

Hi,

Please open a Github issue in the Flowable Designer repository.

Best regards,

I did, but no feedback since 5 weeks:

Is this project active? Are there any release plans for fixed issues?

Hi,

We have been focussing on the Flowable Engine in last 6 months. Sadly the designer has been not updated in this timeframe because we just didn’t have the bandwidth to do so. We still want to keep updating the Designer, but can’t promise anything at this moment in the time.

Best regards,

Tijs
