Hello,

It appears that in 5.11.1 (possibly 5.11.*) there is a bug where the activiti:class attribute is not set on custom service tasks.

For example, when dropping a custom service task from the palatte, the only attributes set are:

<serviceTask id="servicetask1" name="Test Concat" activiti:extensionId="com.foo.extensions.test.TestConcatTask"></serviceTask>‍

where the appropriate attributes should be:

<serviceTask id="servicetask1" name="Test Concat" activiti:extensionId="com.foo.extensions.test.TestConcatTask" activiti:class="com.foo.tasks.test.TestConcatTask"></serviceTask>‍

for this extension code:

package com.foo.extensions.test;

import org.activiti.designer.integration.servicetask.AbstractCustomServiceTask;
import org.activiti.designer.integration.servicetask.PropertyType;
import org.activiti.designer.integration.servicetask.annotation.Help;
import org.activiti.designer.integration.servicetask.annotation.Property;
import org.activiti.designer.integration.servicetask.annotation.Runtime;

@Runtime(delegationClass = "com.foo.extensions.test.TestConcatTask")
public class TestConcatTask extends AbstractCustomServiceTask
{
    @Property(type = PropertyType.TEXT, displayName = "Arg 1", required = true, order = 1)
    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    private String arg1;
    
    @Property(type = PropertyType.TEXT, displayName = "Arg 2", required = true, order = 2)
    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    private String arg2;

    /**
     * Returns the name of this Custom Service Task.
     *
     * @return The name of this Custom Service Task.
     */
    @Override
    public String getName() {
        return "Test Concat";
    }

    /**
     * Returns the name of the Palette Drawer in Activiti Designer
     *
     * @return The name of the Palette Drawer in Activiti Designer
     */
    @Override
    public String contributeToPaletteDrawer() {
        return "TEST";
    }

    @Override
    public String getSmallIconPath() {
        return "icons/coins.png";
    }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

To make it work, the activiti:class attribute must be manually added to the XML, but is subsequently obliterated after any saves using the graphical designer.

Thank you.
