Hi there,  
is **timeDuration** value configurable? rather than defining the value in the bpmn file, I would like it to be configurable. Is it possible?  
  
  
**PT5M**

Hi @lovecats

If your application is based on Spring you can use the `environment` bean.

`${environment.getProperty('your.duration.properties', 'PT5M')}`
