This error occurs when Desktop Modeler can’t reach the Camunda Marketplace to fetch connector templates, which is expected in self-managed environments with network restrictions. I found the following relevant resources:
Modeler tries to pull connector templates from the marketplace by default. C8run doesn’t need that. Two ways to fix: 1. Disable template fetching: In Modeler → File → Preferences → Connector Templates → uncheck “Update templates from Camunda Marketplace” 2. If you need connector templates locally, download them from connectors/connectors at main · camunda/connectors · GitHub and drop the JSON files into your local templates folder (Modeler shows path in Preferences) The fetch error itself won’t break anything - it’s just Modeler warning you it can’t auto-update templates. If you’re not using connectors yet, ignore it.
