FEEL expression language support in Operaton BPMN

Hi! Some time ago I created a question regarding FEEL support in Operaton FEEL expression language support in Operaton BPMN · Issue #1398 · operaton/operaton · GitHub , but unfortunately I still haven’t been able to figure out whether it is supported or not.

I am specifically interested in FEEL support when modeling BPMN (not DMN) - for example, the ability to write FEEL expressions directly in the BPMN editor in various BPMN elements.

Using these expressions, I would like to define dynamic rules that work with different variables (similar to how this is done in Camunda 8).

Could you please let me know whether Operaton supports this feature? If yes, I would really appreciate an example or guidance on how to find or enable it in Operaton/BPMN Modeler.

Thank you in advance,

Alex

It works, I use it very often in my models:

Hi, Camunda 7 supported FEEL in BPMNs from version 7.13. Operaton is a fork of Camunda 7 v7.24 so does have FEEL support. I’ve used FEEL in BPMN’s extensively in Camunda 7 and recommend it. It works beautifully with JSON, is relatively simple. You have the FEEL playground to test your expressions and a very nice Language reference. FEEL Playground (online) | FEEL-Scala Also if you should ever need to migrate to Camunda 8 you won’t have Groovy script migration issues.
