Elaborating a bit with a FlowableTest before implementing the actual use-case.

I am a bit confused why my intermediate catching event does not seem to trigger. From the logs I can see that the throwing event is thrown. The multiinstance subprocess is operating on a list with three strings. One of the executions takes the flow through the “Add new stuff” script task.

Can you see something obvious I a doing wrong here? The signal is scoped to processInstance. (tried with global also without luck)

Thanks!

Ok the catching event must be connected to the process flow somehow 🙂
