I can model a pool with MI marker

[gimbel]

In BPMN it is possible to mark a pool as multi instance (at least the marker looks like the parallel multi instance marker)

Should work for both, collapsed and expanded pools

👍 Would be nice to have this implemented

We accept contributions for this feature.

We'll not implement this any time soon, unless we receive a contribution for this feature.

Please reopen, I'd love to have this feature, too!

I started investigating how the other menu items for pools are implemented and found this line:

bpmn-js/lib/features/replace/ReplaceOptions.js

Line 802 in d252ba2

actionName: 'replace-with-expanded-pool',

However, neither this repository nor entire GitHub provides a definition of replace-with-expanded-pool. Can you give me any pointer on how and where this symbol is resolved eventually? Conceptionally, I would try to implement a toggle-multiple-instance-pool besides replace-with-expanded-pool, but I have no idea where to start. :-)

Hi LinqLover,

Glad to see that you're taking interest in this feature.
If you wish to implement it yourself, I would guide you to this file, where you'll find conditions to add entries to a context menu.
You would then have to create a handler specific to participants, somewhere at the bottom of the file.
Feel free to reach out if you have additional questions.

Thanks for the pointers. I'll take a look at them when I have more time again. Just to clarify: I'm not actually eager to implement this, someone else would probably be much more efficient at it. :)

Btw: We just found out that bpmn.io also appears not to support multiple instance data object, see https://bpmtips.com/bpmn-miwg-demonstration-2018-nearly-everything-you-always-wanted-to-know-about-data-objects-but-were-afraid-to-ask/#:~:text=collection, is this correct? :-)

[azeghers]

Understood, I'll take care of it and keep you updated on the results.
As for your side note, we are supporting collection markers for data objects as of v7.5.0 of bpmn-js, so there you go 😄

Great, when will these changes arrive at bpmn.io? :-)

[nikku]

With the next releas 😉
