autoPlace.append with multiple shape(expanded subProcess)

Developers

Hello

I use bpmn js and I have a question.

Can I create multiple shapes like an Expanded SubProcess through AutoPlace.append and link sequences? If yes, what is the method?

Currently, an attempt is made to append Expanded SubProcess to contextPadProvider.js through custom methode, but startEvent is not generated on the canvas.

  function appendSubAction(type, className, title, options){
    var subProcess = elementFactory.createShape({
      type: 'bpmn:SubProcess',
      x: 0,
      y: 0,
      isExpanded: true
    });
    var startEvent = elementFactory.createShape({
      type: 'bpmn:StartEvent',
      x: 40,
      y: 82,
      parent: subProcess
    });
    function appendStart(event, element){
      create.start(event, [subProcess, startEvent], {
        source: element,
      });
    }
    var append = autoPlace ? function(event, element){
      var shape = find([subProcess, startEvent], function(element) {
        return !isConnection(element);
      });
      function isConnection(element) {
        return !!element.waypoints;
      }
      autoPlace.append(element, shape);
    } : appendStart;

    return {
      group: 'activity',
      className: className,
      title: title,
      action:{
        dragstart : appendStart,
        click: append
      }
    }
  }

append Expanded Subprocess
