Hi @bpmnenthusiast - start event execution listeners were not on the roadmap for 8.7 originally. User task execution listeners were scheduled for 8.7 but are now scheduled for 8.8, so perhaps there’s some confusion there? (If there is a source where it was said that start event execution listeners were in development for 8.7, could you please share that too so I can track down the confusion?)
Can you share more about your use case for a start event execution listener? I’d love to share this feedback with our product team.
I’m also curious if you’ve considered the current recommendations for using a start event listener? There are two ways to achieve a similar result with execution listeners in 8.6:
- you can use a start execution listener on the process instance (see screenshot below). In Modeler, if you click the canvas and not a specific symbol, the properties panel shows the process properties and you can define the listener there.
- you can place a start execution listener on a subprocess, which behaves in a similar way.
