Validation failed with Multiple None Start Events for event registry example from flowable website

1

Hi,
I’ve downloaded the app definition “Event-App” referenced in the “Introducing the flowable event registry” article found here: https://blog.flowable.org/2020/02/08/introducing-the-flowable-event-registry/ and pointing to the example at: https://github.com/flowable/flowable-examples/blob/master/blog/EventApp.zip

Unfortunately I’m not able to publish the app due to validation errors as seen in the modeler:

and on the cmd-line while trying to publish:

Hi Kai.

The problem is in the app import. The boundary event is imported as a start event. The issues is fixed in the latest master snapshot.
