Element Templates : create interactive expandable groups

BPMN & Modeling Discussion & Questions

Struggling with the same problem here: Element templates: Hide only certain sections of properties panel

“entriesVisible” requires indeed a boolean. It might work with the Camunda 7 schema, but I’m creating a Camunda 8 template.

I had hoped however, that you could expose all and ‘hide’ some with “type”: “Hidden”. Sadly, that’s not the case.

Now we’re on the subject: Does anyone know how to create ‘expandable groups’ like Inputs, Outputs etc. ??

Seems to me, we can only create ‘hardcoded’ properties.

Hi,
I am not sure if this is what you mean, but you can create groups for the properties you define in the template like this:
…
“groups”: [
{
“id”: “inputs”,
“label”: “Delegate Input”
}
]
…
And reference the group in the property with:
… “group”: “inputs” …
This will put all properties referencing this group in one collapsable section in the properties panel.

Thanks for your ‘input’ @CeSchu :wink:

Indeed the way to create groups with properties. But the properties are fixed. I would like to create a group with a ‘+’ …

Now I get what you try to achieve but I don’t know of any way to let users add properties in the panel via templates. Sorry but hope you find a solution soon
