Hi ,

Can someone explains the use of Exclusive checkbox in Flowable modeler. sometimes turning it on/off halts the exclusive gateway at some point.

And how to design a nested inclusive gateway. Because I noticed that sometimes the L2 inclusive gateway start - halts for the task in L1 to be completed. Could you please explain.

L1 - Inclusive gateway with multiple tasks starts

L2 - Inclusive gateway with multiple tasks starts

L2- Inclusive gateway with multiple tasks ends

L1- Inclusive gateway with multiple tasks ends

Thanks,
Esther.

See BPMN 2.0 Constructs · Flowable Open Source Documentation for what the exclusive does.

Note that inclusive gateway joins work in a very specific way - nesting them is not easy. See BPMN 2.0 Constructs · Flowable Open Source Documentation, esp. the join part there.
