Modeling fields in (open source) Modeler?

1

Is it possible to define/edit field extension elements in the web-based modeler? I see it is possible in the Eclipse plugin, but that appears to be an inactive project at this point with the effort applied to the web-based modeler. If it makes any difference, I’m using the Docker image:

Hey @csete,

It seems like the Flowable Web Modeler does not expose defining extension elements. We are open in receiving a PR that would add this functionality to the Modeler. Are you interested in providing such functionality?

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply. I will consider it, although I’m not sure that I will have enough time to really dig into doing that. If I decided I wanted to give it a try, can you point me to any documentation on how something like this would be done?

Thanks,
Craig

Hey Craig,

For adding a functionality like this you will need to touch the stencil sets and the json converters. Have a look at this that adds a new element to the palette in the editor.

Cheers,
Filip
