Camunda Modeler Plugin to show Transaction Boundaries is "not a registered action"

[philogilvie1]

The Bug and How to Reproduce

After copying the camunda-modeler-token-simulation-plugin files from https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler-plugins.git into the specified ~/Library/Application Support/camunda-modeler/resources/plugins directory the Desktop Camunda Modeler recognises the plugin. However, when the menu item Plugins / Transaction Boundaries / Toggle Transaction Boundaries is selected the following error is generated:

toggleTransactionBoundaries is not a registered action

Hi @philogilvie1 ,

I can reproduce this issue. While the error message is not expected, the "Transaction Boundaries" is a Plugin for Camunda 7 to show the database transaction boundaries. You are trying to use it in a diagram for Camunda 8. Camunda 8 does not have a relational database and therefore no Transaction boundaries.

In a Camunda 7 diagram, the Plugin works as expected for me
