Missing name attribute in dataInput tag [message #1000864]

Hi,
I've opened the file Evaluation2.bpmn (found in jbpm-examples) using BPMN 2.0 Modeler (0.2.1). After saving the file, all the dataInput tags were missing the name attribute.

Evaluation2.bpmn:

    <userTask id="_2" name="Self Evaluation" >
      <ioSpecification>
        <dataInput id="_2_reasonInput" name="reason" />
        <dataInput id="_2_CommentInput" name="Comment" />
        <dataInput id="_2_SkippableInput" name="Skippable" />
        <dataInput id="_2_TaskNameInput" name="TaskName" />

Evaluation2.bpmn after saving:

    <userTask id="_2" name="Self Evaluation">
      <incoming>_1-_2</incoming>
      <outgoing>_2-_5</outgoing>
      <ioSpecification id="InputOutputSpecification_1">
        <dataInput id="_2_reasonInput"/>
        <dataInput id="_2_CommentInput"/>
        <dataInput id="_2_SkippableInput"/>
        <dataInput id="_2_TaskNameInput"/>

Furthermore, I tried setting the name attribute and the id attribute of the dataInput tag using the properties editor, but the name attribute is not retained after saving and reopening the file.
This seem to be is a problem when working with jbpm 5.4, because I found out that (for example) the task name is no longer retrieved at runtime when the name attribute is missing.

Thanks in advance.

This looks like a regression. Some elements in the jBPM5 subset (e.g. properties) surface the ID attribute instead of the name to the UI, so I've had to jump through hoops to ensure the names and IDs are synchronized. I need to go through the list of these elements again to make sure there aren't any other cases like this.

Can you please file a bug report here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=BPMN2Modeler

Should have this fixed by the next service release at the end of the month.

Thanks for testing!
Bob
