User story

I want to start call-activities and business rule tasks by resolving version tag AND latest, similar to starting a process definition via latest version tag.

Background

The desired functionality to resolve call-activities and business rule tasks as it is possible today to start a process instance of the latest process definition for a version tag: 

 

// Starting a process definition via latest process definition of a version tag

ProcessDefinition pd = processEngine.getRepositoryService().createProcessDefinitionQuery()
    .processDefinitionKey("invoice")
    .versionTag("1.5-patch2")
    .latest()
    .singleResult();

processEngine.getRuntimeService().startProcessInstanceById(pd.getId());

 

Acceptance criteria

• I can start call-activities and business rule tasks via the latest version tag.{{}}

Hi @ThorbenLindhauer

Are there any plans to implement this? I think the solution today makes not much sense to work with version tags at all.

My scenario is:

• We have a standard versioning, like major.minor.patch - e.g. 2.4.5.
• We want that a process is linked to its Minor Version -> like 2.4
• We have a couple of patch versions - and of course it should take the latest.

At the moment I think the only solution would be to add the version to the Definition Key, like myproject-myprocess-v2.

Is there another way that I missed?

Hi,

This is currently not scheduled. As an enterprise customer you can raise a feature request via product support and request prioritization. In any case you could make a contribution if you need this functionality quickly.

Cheers, Thorben
