Guide / Every rule

Event with several event definitions

The check bpmnlint/single-event-definition, in the group Modelling rules.

Error

Why it matters

An event with several definitions is a multiple event, which few engines support and few readers expect.

How to fix it

Keep one event definition, or use one event for each.

Where you see it

The editor puts a marker on the element while you draw, and the Problems tab of the sidebar lists it under Rules, with the rule name bpmnlint/single-event-definition. In a terminal, penstock check --only rules reports it.

To change how strict this rule is, set single-event-definition to error, warn or off in your .bpmnlintrc. See Validation.
