Describe the bug

On selecting the user task, I'm unable to get the link option on camunda modeler desktop. Find the version details below

Steps to reproduce

create a user task
create a camunda form
click on user task

Expected behavior

A blue linking option must appear to link that form created

Environment

Camunda Modeler system information

Version: 5.20.0
Operating System: Windows 10 amd64
Plugins:
Execution Platform: BPMN - Camunda 8

Additional context

Depends on https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler/issues/2508.

Thanks for opening this issue! What web modeler offers you is convenience on top of the existing linking mechanism for forms:

In Camunda you link resources via their ID
You create a form with ID MyForm
You create a user task inside a BPMN
You link by setting the Form ID in the user tasks Form section in the properties panel to MyForm

I agree that this additional convenience to link would be great to have in Desktop Modeler, too. I don't see this as a bug but a feature request though.

Moving to backlog for the time being.
