Open sections of the properties panel in certain contexts per default

Created on 16 April 2022, over 3 years ago
Updated 6 June 2025, 3 months ago

Problem/Motivation

At the moment the sections in the properties panel are collapsed per default. for the process in general as well as for every component like a startevent or task and so forth. that entails an extra click to expand a section.

Proposed resolution

two or three weeks ago https://github.com/bpmn-io/bpmn-js-properties-panel/issues/618 has landed upstream enabling to open sections per default. i would suggest the following default settings:

process
general - expanded (currently collapsed)
documentation - expanded (currently collapsed)

startevent, task & sequenceflow (right after dragging a startevent or task icon to the canvas - no template selected yet)
general - expanded (currently collapsed)
documentation - expanded (currently collapsed)

startevent, task & sequenceflow (template selected)
general - collapsed (like it currently is)
documentation - collapsed (currently the documentation section is hidden https://www.drupal.org/project/bpmn_io/issues/3275575 The description disappears on a StartEvent or Task when a template is selected Closed: outdated but being visible but collapsed is preferable in that state imho)
template - expanded (currently collapsed)
custom properties - expanded (like it currently is)

gateway
general - expanded (currently collapsed)
documentation - expanded (currently collapsed)
