Form Type Selection Is Misleading
See original GitHub issueDescribe the Bug
The current form type selection on a user task is wrong.
The option <none>
can contain form fields for generated forms.
The option Embedded or External Task Form
shows the Formkey, which can be filled with a Formkey for a Camunda Form as well: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.16/user-guide/task-forms/#form-key
The option Camunda Forms
opens the reference to a deployed form. Camunda Forms can be used by Formkey as well.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new BPMN Process for Camunda Platform
- Add a User task
- Open the Form tab
- Select an option from the dropdown
Expected Behavior
The names on the options should fit to the field that the developer has to fill after the selection.
If I select none, nothing else can be added.
I would like to select Formkey
to fill a camunda Form Formkey.
I would like to select Deployed form
to fill the reference to the deployed form.
I would like to select Generated Form
to fill the form fields.
For a new user it seems that Camunda Forms always need a deployment.
Environment

This one is in fact
fixed upstream
as long as we don’t release and updatebpmn-js-properties-panel
.Fixed upstream via https://github.com/bpmn-io/bpmn-js-properties-panel/pull/574
In the moment this issue is a blocker to use the Camunda Forms in our Dev-Trainings. I would appreciate it, if you could just change the labels in the next release of the Camunda Modeler (after the UX discussion).
Maybe move the
<none>
-part into a different issue.
