FOUR-24334-B | Error with PM Block Element in Modeler, "Call Activity Must Have Child Process Selected"

[mcraeteisha]

Issue

Ticket: FOUR-24334

PM Blocks were incorrectly showing validation errors with the message "Call Activity must have a child process and a start event selected" even when they were properly configured with valid processId, startEvent, and calledElement values. The bpmnlint plugin's processmaker/call-activity-child-process validation rule was incorrectly flagging properly configured PM Blocks as invalid. The modeler was correctly loading and configuring PM Blocks, but the validation rule had a bug in how it parsed or validated the PM Block configuration.

Solution

Implemented a false positive filter in the modeler that runs after validation to remove incorrect validation errors for properly configured PM Blocks while preserving validation errors for genuinely unconfigured PM Blocks.

How to Test

1. Login to ProcessMaker
2. Go to Designer → Processes.
3. Create a Process.
4. Have a PM Block created.
5. Add the PM Block to the Process Modeler.
6. Select the Auto-Validate option.

• The "Call Activity must have a child process and a start event selected" error should not appear.
