How to access CMMN in the modeler?

Hi @AstaSyneri,

the CMMN editor is disabled using a flag per default in the latest version (4.5) of the Camunda Modeler. But you have full power to modify the flags and therefore you can still enable it if you wish!

In order to do that, you need to set a “flag”. You can choose between two options to do that:

Option 1. Pass the --no-disable-cmmn flag via the Comand Line Interface
When starting the Modeler, you need to pass the --no-disable-cmmn via the Command Line.
So for example on linux, you run a command:

$ ./camunda-modeler --no-disable-cmmn

Likewise for example on Windows, you could start the .exe over the commandLine with the flag, or you could create a shortcut to the camunda-modeler.exe and append --no-disable-cmmn to the target of the shortcut.

Option 2. Define a flags.json file
You can locally create a file called flags.json, which defines the flags which the Camunda-Modeler should pick up when starting. In the file you would need to save the following text content:

{
    "disable-cmmn": false
}

The flags.json file needs to be saved either in your user-data-directory or application-data-directory.

There are more flags and therefore more options how to customize the Camunda Modeler to your specific use-case with flags. Please refer to the flags documentation to find out more.
