Update diagram from bpmn20.xml file

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Are there any plans to amend the plugin so that any changes to the xml file directly are reflected in the activiti diagram?

Some of my managers are concerned that if developers amend code directly in the xml, then the next developer who is looking at the diagram will a) not be seeing the correct representation of the deployment and b) may then overwrite/undo any changes already made in the xml.

How are other people using the plugin approaching this perceived problem?

Many thanks for your time

Hi Mike,

Well, that should already be the case for most of the supported attributes and elements.
So if you change for example the name of task this should be immediately effective when you reopen the diagram.
What can be the case is that not every attribute/element change is already picked up.
But if you let me know what pieces are missing these can be easily added.

Best regards,
