Flowable Modeler not displaying ID’s of newly created elements

Hi all,

I've posted to the forum a few days ago, but since there hasn't been a response, I've decided to post it here as well. Original post: https://forum.flowable.org/t/flowable-modeler-not-displaying-ids-of-newly-created-elements/

Basically, I've noticed that newly created elements in the modeler do not show their generated ID in the properties field. I've traced this issue back to at least version 6.0.0.

I've investigated this a bit, and I've noticed that there are two properties concerning the id: the resourceId and the overrideId. The resourceId is correctly generated and stored in the model and is probably the one used in the engine as well. However, the generated id gets never assigned to the overrideId and is thus never displayed in the properties panel (it is the overrideId that gets shown as the id and not the resourceId). Any process that was designed pre-flowable does contain the generated id as the overrideId and is thus displayed properly in the properties panel.

I am willing to provide a PR to fix this, however, I am not sure of what the intended behaviour of these properties are and hence have no idea what to file in the PR.

I'm hoping one of you could clarify how these properties should behave and how this can maybe be fixed.

Kind regards,

Stijn
