How to terminate a service task based on low code without writing programme code for it?

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know of a way to end a service task based on low code without writing programme code for it?

We would like to create a few service tasks in a test BPMN model which should simply run through for testing.

Thanks for the help

Sascha,

Imagine Job Workers like employees in a warehouse. Once they have their orders and go away, you can’t call them back.
In the same way, once a Job Worker has accepted the job from Camunda, Camunda can’t tell them to stop. They’ll do their thing and come back to Camunda and say “Ok, it’s done”

You can put interrupting boundary events on the External Job tasks in your BPMN, but that only impacts the flow of the job, it doesn’t reach out to the job worker to say “Stop!”

Hope that helps
