Call activity without a process to call

The check compat/called-element, in the group Engine compatibility.

Error

Why it matters

A call activity that names no process id, or a wrong kind of expression, fails when the instance reaches it.

How to fix it

Set the called process id, a static one or a FEEL expression.

Where you see it

The Problems tab lists it under Engine, the editor marks the element on the canvas, and penstock check reports it as compat/called-element. It checks the diagram against the engine and the version it is written for: the version in the file's modeler:executionPlatformVersion, or the newest one when the file has none. Operaton and CIB seven are checked as Camunda 7. This check is free.

To turn it off, set camunda-compat/called-element or compat/called-element to off in your .bpmnlintrc. See Validation.
