Make element templates an all modelers feature #1482

Open nikku opened 1 year ago

nikku commented 1 year ago

Describe the context

Element templates are nowadays an all modelers BPMN modeling feature:

Still, to date they are burried under "Modeler > Desktop Modeler" with a note hinting on desktop modeler support (https://docs.camunda.io/docs/components/modeler/desktop-modeler/element-templates/about-templates/).

Various deep links from different places in the documentation link to sub-pages, i.e. Web Modeler > Advanced Modeling > Managing Connector Templates. These often don't establish the necessary context, i.e. they are referred to as "connector templates" from where they are linked; we don't introduce element templates = connector templates properly (i.e. here).

Describe the solution you'd like

Which alternatives did you consider?

Keep things as is.

Further context

Confusion around this came up repeatedly. Cf. example.
