Thanks @davidgs I have had a look at the article its pretty clear Camunda is pointing to more users using the SaaS offering in the coming years, as a free tier is more important than free software (which is a fair enough assertion) however there will be customers, like my current company, that are willing to pay for the service but will seek to host it themselves for varying reasons depending on the industry and data domiciling restrictions etc.
Doing the assessment on C8, locally running with docker-compose, we would love to use it going forward but I just see too many issues with the Tasklist API as it currently stands, I have created 3 topics on this forum. This ticket is only a minor annoyance, the assignment of tasks to other users is a bit of a bigger issue but the real blocker is this one.
