rename a workflow app
Hi, I have a workflow app that someone created based on an existing workflow and I would like to change its name to reflect that it's something new now. I managed to rename the model and its key, but not the app containing the model - how do I do this? thanks!

Task Notification Templates
Is there any ability for administrators to customize the content of the default task notification emails? I've been unable to find any documentation to support any details related to this system process and the mechanisms which drive it.

Show notification as a pop-up during workflow
When a workflow is started, a green notification appears in the lower left corner (Latest UI). Is there any way to also display customized notifications there during the execution of a workflow? Or have some other pop-up? A user task with a form doesn't work because it is not displayed like the start form. Also throwing an exception (where the message appears in red at the same place) does not work because it would not be consistent and also cancels the workflow.

Workflow groovy scripts reserved variables
Hello, In Groovy scripts it is possible to use variable 'execution' when saving and retrieving variables. Are there any more reserved variables that it is possible to use? And where it is possible to see their implementation?

Workflow user task as a pop up and not under the task list
Hello, I have a workflow created which has a form linked to the start event. When the workflow is started, this form shows as a pop up and after user clicks on Next button, I have a script task to perform some logic and than based on the exclusive gateway decision, it either executes a user task or stops the workflow. The problem is when the initial form is submitted and user clicks on Next button, collibra shows Task completed and based on the script and decision gateway, if the user task is executed it shows under the tasks list of the user which is not very prominent and can be easily ignored / overlooked by the user thinking the first task completed so workflow also completed. How can I get the user task show as a pop up or something and not hidden in the tasks list of the user.

New Workflow Designer UI
Is there a way to return to the older Workflow Designer prior to the last update? I am not impressed with the latest and find it hard to navigate.

Workflow Designer edit code of script in Full page mode
Hi guys, I am using the new Workflow Designer but I can only get 20 lines of code on the page to edit my script. There was a key combination to get your code in full screen mode, can anyone remember that ? Thanks F.

Global create to start workflow and bypass Tasks step
So, I start my workflow by clicking the "global create" + icon, select my workflow which opens a pop-up message 'Workflow started' and subsequently it adds a new item to the "Tasks" menu. This requires me to click the Tasks item before my workflow starts. How can I bypass the step and once I complete "global create" + icon, select my workflow, it should start the workflow right away bypassing the "Tasks"? Thanks!
