How to activate element templates in Camunda Modeler

BPMN & Modeling Discussion & Questions

Hi there,
maybe I’m missing something, but I’m not able to see the element templates feature in the Camunda Modeler. I downloaded today version 1.1.1 Windows x64 (
https://camunda.org/release/camunda-modeler/1.1.1/camunda-modeler-1.1.1-win32-x64.zip
).
I created a new BPMN diagram, added a task, changed it to service task and looked in the properties panel. In the general tab I have name and id but no element template as shown here
https://blog.camunda.org/post/2016/05/camunda-modeler-element-templates/

What am I missing? How can I test the functionality. I’m very exited about it, since it seems very close to what we’ve built as an own property panel extension half a year ago.
Thanks in advance
René

Hi René

You actually need to setup the templates in JSON first before they’ll show up in the modeler.
This post might help you understand what you need to do

The element template don’t show up either. What am I doing wrong?
I have added the json file to the element-template directory

@Jae_Kim did you follow the docs: https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler/tree/master/docs/element-templates#example-setup ?
