Call Activity - Process Id field doesn't support expression and it should
See original GitHub issueFor 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
- Create a new call activity
- Enter
=
in theprocessId
field - 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?
