Custom elements in Modeler

BPMN & Modeling Discussion & Questions

Is this possible to implement custom element into a model e.g. via xml in desktop Modeler? How can I do it?

Hey @Coji,

Yes it is possible to add custom elements in the Camunda Modeler. You would need to modify bpmn-js for it. You can find more information here as well as an example. I think this is a good starting point.

Hey @Nele,

Yea, I know about bpmn-js, but am I right if it’s usable only in web version of the modeler and not in a Desktop Modeler? Because my goal is to add elements in the desktop modeler version.

Hey @Coji ,

bpmn-js is also used within the Desktop Modeler. So if you want to add elements to it, it is the way to go. You might find more about the topic and expertise in the bpmn.io forum
