Limit diagrams within a technology

[Geert Bellekens]

Since v15 we have been using the perspectives, and perspective sets/groups configuration to limit the number of different diagrams the users are exposed to.

This has worked great so far; we went from a few hundred diagram types to only a dozen or so.
But now we want to go even further. We use BPMN, but only use one of the diagram types offered by BPMN.

Is there a way to configure my perspective to exclude the other BPMN diagram types?

I know I can probably roll my own (and I might do that one day), but being able to remove the unwanted diagram types from BPMN looks like it could be a quick win. (if possible)

Found it myself. If you edit your perspective and set it to Strict, you can use the button "Restrict" to select diagrams and metatypes to further restrict the use of a certain technology.

BUT: I remember we tried that at first and suddenly common relations such as «trace» were missing. I don't remember the exact circumstances, but I do remember that turning the "strict" option off solved the problem.

I'll have to investigate a bit further.

And I found the bug we noticed back then as well:
