Element Template with custom Icon in Camunda7 Modeller

[Michael2]

Hi,
I wrote an element template for Camunda8 (zeebe-element-template-json-schema). For my current client I backported it to Camunda7 (element-template-json-schema). The templated is displayed nicely in the selection.

What I’m missing is my custom icon on the BPMN for my templated task. The task I applied the template on still displays the gear-icon.

I’m using Desktop Modeller 5.34.0 with local element templates.

Are custom icons supported element-template-json-schema or not? If they are supported, what do I have to change?

Thanks,
Michael

you can look at the following link where you can customize the modeler elements.

Hello!
Custom icons in Camunda 7 element templates (element-template-json-schema) are not supported. This feature was introduced in Camunda 8. Therefore, your templated tasks in Camunda 7 will display the default gear icon. Achieving custom icons in Camunda 7 would require complex solutions like developing a custom Modeler plugin or modifying the Modeler’s source code, which are significant development efforts. The simplest approach is to accept the default icon for your Camunda 7 templates.
