Possible bug? Sequenceflow [message #1063906]

Hi everyone,

I am completely new to this forum and apologise in advance for incorrect etiquette or ignorance. However, I could not find mention of this particular matter regarding sequenclows in the forum.

I am using the nightly build version of the BPMN2 modeler 0.2.6.201306071731 in a Juno.

When I mark a sequenceflow as the default flow from the Properties pane in the diagram editor, it does not reflect this fact in the xml of the diagram(source view). This means it is impossible to determine the default flow by inspecting the xml.

Is this a feature or a possible bug?

Thank you in advance

The default sequence flow is identified by the "default" attribute of the activity or gateway to which it is connected, and not on the sequence flow itself. For example:

    <bpmn2:exclusiveGateway id="ExclusiveGateway_1" name="" gatewayDirection="Diverging" default="SequenceFlow_2">
      <bpmn2:incoming>SequenceFlow_1</bpmn2:incoming>
      <bpmn2:outgoing>SequenceFlow_2</bpmn2:outgoing>
      <bpmn2:outgoing>SequenceFlow_3</bpmn2:outgoing>
    </bpmn2:exclusiveGateway>

If this is not what you are seeing, then try saving the file first before inspecting the XML - the Source View is only synchronized with the Design view when the file is saved.

HTH,
Bob
