feat: make message name visible in element templates by chillleader · Pull Request #6789 · camunda/connectors

chillleader · 2026-03-25T13:11:41Z

Description

This change makes message name visible in the element templates. It's still pre-filled with an autogenerated UUID but now users can override it if needed.

This provides a workaround for issues where customers need to manually adjust the message name.

Checklist

Backport labels are added if these code changes should be backported. No backport label is added to the latest
release, as this branch will be rebased onto main before the next release. Example backport labels:
- backport stable/8.8: for changes that should be included in the next 8.8.x release.
- or backport release-8.8.7: for changes that should be included in the specific release 8.8.7, and this
  release has already been created. The release branch will be merged back into stable/8.8 later, so the change
  will be included in future 8.8.x releases as well.
Tests/Integration tests for the changes have been added if applicable.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the element template generator and a set of shipped element templates so the auto-generated BPMN message name (UUID) becomes visible and editable for inbound connectors, enabling users to override it when needed.

Changes:

Replaced the hidden messageNameUuid template property with a visible string property that still generates a UUID by default.
Updated multiple connector element templates to include the visible “Message name” field and tooltip.
Minor housekeeping updates (e.g., HTTP REST template icon serialization change, README version bump).
