Call Activity - Process Id field doesn't support expression and it should

See original GitHub issue

For Camunda Cloud, when you create a new Call Activity, the process Id field should support expressions but it shows an error (Not a valid QName) instead.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new call activity
  2. Enter = in the processId field
  3. An error will be shown complaining about the invalid id

Expected Behavior

It should work, that’s a documented feature.

Usually, the processId is defined as a static value (e.g. shipping-process) but it can also be defined as expression (e.g. = “shipping-” + tenantId). The expression is evaluated on activating the call activity and must result in a string.

@danshapir As a workaround you could go to the XML view and change the process ID there.

As it is a documented feature we should fix it.

Is there any update on this issue? Or a workaround until it’s fixed?
