Allow to bulk change type of multiple elements #2046
Comments
This has been previously reported by expert users in the Camunda (Desktop) Modeler, cf. camunda/camunda-modeler#892. |
@till-stadtler camunda/camunda-modeler#892 and comments could be interesting for you to review. Is there anything else you have on your hit list? |
@nikku, very interesting! I want to do the following with one selection of all three elements on the left and one action to add a gateway via the context pad: |
@till-stadtler Do you mind spinning off your "append from multiple sources" feature request into a separate issue? I think it is equally relevant, but I cannot guarantee we'll be able to tackle both feature requests in a batch. |
@CatalinaMoisuc, can you edit this feature request and remove the aspects about appending a gateway to multiple elements:
Thank you! |
@till-stadtler I split this up. |
Describe the problem that you are trying to solve
When working on BPMN models live in front of an audience, I want to make changes to multiple elements at once to be quicker. When reviewing and redesigning BPMN models, I want to save time. One example is replacing the types of a number of selected nodes:
Describe the solution you'd like to see implemented
When multiple elements are selecte, I would like to have the option in the context menu to change the type of the selected elements, given that they are of the same type (tasks, gateways, events).
Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternatives to the examples above is the current way of modeling:
Additional Context
A hypothetical test shows that drawing a simple diagram (start event, parallel gateway, three parallel service tasks, parallel gateway, end event) normally takes about 30 clicks. With the requested changes it takes about 15 clicks, plus 3 selections of specific elements.
Related to #2052 (the ability to change the type of multiple elements).
