Element Template Runtime Versions

[jarekdanielak]

This is a tracking issue for Element Template Runtime Versions epic.

Description

We want to detect, communicate and help users solve incompatibilities between their platform version and element template version.

We want to warn the user about the incompatibility in a non-blocking way, allowing them to fix the problem or continue with the deployment.

To do:

• [ ] https://github.com/camunda/element-templates-json-schema/issues/146
• [ ] Detect and act upon incompatibilities:
  • [ ] User tries to apply template that requires higher platform version.
  • [ ] User tries to apply template that requires lower platform version.
  • [ ] User downgrades platform version, but an already applied template requires higher version.
  • [ ] User upgrades platform version, but an already applied template requires lower version.
  • [ ] There is no version of a template that supports current runtime version.
• [ ] Ensure user is always offered the most relevant template version.

Note:

• Make sure the solution covers applying a template through both properties panel and element context menu.
• Supported platform versions JSON field should be optional.
• Current template upgrade feature should not offer an upgrade to an incompatible version.

Additional documentation

• User flow chart
• Define kick-off board

Detect and act upon incompatibilities:

I'd add "User is offered templates relevant to his context".

Yana has done some work on missing templates that might be informative. I'll go through it and see if there's anything we need to be aware of.
