Camunad 8 Desktop Modeler forms

Hello @camunda_kon ,

I guess this is related to our latest conversion:

Camunda 8 embedded forms

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the self managed camunda 8 form creation. So far, I can create forms from the editor and attach them by pasting their json inside the camunda forms field. How can I use the other available option “Custom form key” ?? Is it possible to use a library like “Camunda-formio” ? I have some trouble understanding this functionality.

Currently, there is no way of linking files in the Desktop Modeler (also not BPMN → BPMN or BPMN → DMN).

At the moment, this is solved using linking by Id which is resolved at runtime. For Camunda 8 forms, this will probably also be the first step (use a “form ref” instead of a form key which points to the form id).

In order to be able to resolve this information as links, some kind of context would be required.

I was thinking about this also some time ago, yet I do not have any information if this is in the pipeline.
