Wish List

The follow is a list of enhancements we wish to do complete in the near (or even distant future)

Performance Improvements

BPMN Definitions at save time vs run time

Improve performance by pre-processing the BPMN Specification and generating the internal JSON representation so we no longer incur the expense of doing this on a per-process basis. This will also allow us to do some early and deep validation as well.

End User Experience

Administrator / Support Contact Information

Allow defining contact information at the process group and process model level, perhaps at some very top level as well - which can be inherited unless overridden.
This information could then be displayed when a process is in a non-functional state - such an error, suspended, or terminiated state. It might also be available in the footer or under a help icon when displaying a process instance.

Modeler Experience

Markdown Support for Process Groups and Models

Allow us to define a markdown file for a process group or process model, which would be displayed in the process group or process model in the tile view, or at the top of the details page when a group or model is selected.

Form Builder

Let's invest in a much better Form Builder experience, so that it is trivial to build new forms or modify existing forms.

Connector Proxy

Support Multiple Connector Proxies

Service Tasks have been a huge win, there are multiple reasons that supporting more than one Connector Proxy would be beneficial:

  1. Connect to several separately hosted services
  2. Support mulitple services written in multiple languages
  3. Allow some connectors to be local (http get/post) vs remote (xero/coin gecko)
  4. Could support non http based connectors (git interactions could be a workflow)
