Custom attributes

[guilmori]

Hello,

I'm adding custom attributes into my bpmn file using a custom namespace (not "bpmn2:").
I can't get those value from the Model Elements attributes.
Is there a way to load those custom attributes into the Model ?

Here is a sample bpmn.
I want to retrieve attribute "pmp:directiveName" on userTask.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bpmn2:definitions xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:bpmn2="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL" xmlns:bpmndi="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/DI" xmlns:dc="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DC" xmlns:di="http://www.omg.org/spec/DD/20100524/DI" xmlns:pmp="http://pmp.org/schema/1.0/bpmn" id="sample-diagram" targetNamespace="http://bpmn.io/schema/bpmn" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL BPMN20.xsd">
  <bpmn2:process id="Process_1" isExecutable="false">
    <bpmn2:startEvent id="StartEvent_1">
      <bpmn2:outgoing>SequenceFlow_0djeasa</bpmn2:outgoing>
    </bpmn2:startEvent>
    <bpmn2:sequenceFlow id="SequenceFlow_0djeasa" sourceRef="StartEvent_1" targetRef="myTask_18dubsb" />
    <bpmn2:userTask id="myTask_18dubsb" name="My Task" pmp:directiveName="dirName">
      <bpmn2:incoming>SequenceFlow_0djeasa</bpmn2:incoming>
      <bpmn2:outgoing>SequenceFlow_1grgwgk</bpmn2:outgoing>
    </bpmn2:userTask>
    <bpmn2:endEvent id="EndEvent_01hfcbi">
      <bpmn2:incoming>SequenceFlow_1grgwgk</bpmn2:incoming>
    </bpmn2:endEvent>
    <bpmn2:sequenceFlow id="SequenceFlow_1grgwgk" sourceRef="myTask_18dubsb" targetRef="EndEvent_01hfcbi" />
  </bpmn2:process>
  <bpmndi:BPMNDiagram id="BPMNDiagram_1">
    ...
  </bpmndi:BPMNDiagram>
</bpmn2:definitions>

We currently support extension elements (added in last version). Custom attributes are definitely on agenda, although I cannot estimate how soon it will be done.

Please attach full valid BPMN file. It will be useful in testing during implementation.

An example of extension element:

  <collaboration id="sid-e5defbed-c12d-4c0a-9b5e-0f187e35ffd3">
    <extensionElements>
      <w4graph:graphStyle>
        <w4graph:basic background="0,0,0" foreground="0,0,0" autoResize="false" borderColor="255,255,255" collapsed="false"/>
        <w4graph:root gridVisible="true" snapToGrid="true" rulerVisible="true" snapToGuide="true" rulerUnit="Pixels">
          <Grid spacing="15" color="230,230,230"/>
          <VerticalRuler/>
          <HorizontalRuler/>
        </w4graph:root>
      </w4graph:graphStyle>
    </extensionElements>
  </collaboration>

Hi there,

I'm using your sample 'Code example to create diagram image'.

However, I'm struggling with the extension-tag; both Enterprise Architect and the javascript library bpmn.io have problems in parsing the child elements of the caseagile:model. In addition, I also wasn't able to read the schema: xmlns:caseagile="http://caseagile.com/schema/BPMN/20170414/MODEL".

Could you enlighten me on what I possibly doing wrong?

Regards, Giovanni

Hello
Writing diagrams was first added in the latest release and may have issues.
We will evaluate our outputs in standard BPMN validators and inform on results.
Schema links are rather placeholders or IDs. They should not cause problems as links.
