Configuration of environment variables with subsequent selection #1034

Closed Happy-Child closed 5 months ago

Happy-Child commented 6 months ago

Hello.

I have a question and a suggestion for improvement. I have to ask the question here because there is no response from https://forum.bpmn.io/.

The kogito bpmn editor has a convenient feature for environment variables (screenshot below). image

You can create them in "Process Data" and then select values from the already formed list of environment variables in the Data I/O modal window (screenshot below). image

Suggestions for improvement: Can the camunda bpmn editor implement a similar feature? Add a tab for creating a list of environment variables on the Process Configuration panel. Then these values can be selected as "Variable assignment value" in the Inputs & Outputs tabs.

Questions:

  1. Please tell me if we want to implement this functionality ourselves, will it only affect this repository "bpmn-js-properties-panel"? If not, please let me know which other modules might be affected. I am currently using the following configuration (screenshot below). image

  2. And is such an implementation possible in principle? Or is it not worth spending time studying the source code?

Thank you!

@Happy-Child in Camunda 8 we have data handling to serve a similar purpose, working via editor auto-completion, built of this extension.

Within Camunda 7 we do not plan to work with that, but surely there is ways for you to extend the existing properties panel tooling.
