There are not any implementation of this removing in my project.

I’m not sure why your custom extension elements are lost on replace. They shouldn’t get lost as this example shows: Keep Custom Extensions on Replace - CodeSandbox

Can you share your diagram?

I managed to solve this problem. But I found another similar.
For example, i have bpmn:multiInstanceLoopCharacteristics

when i`m changing this type to sequential image
then the attributes are removed

I change the type all the same using the pop-up menu
Could this be related to the implementation of the modeler itself?

This is a bug in bpmn-js. The properties of bpmn:MultiInstanceLoopCharacteristics shouldn’t get lost when changing from parallel to sequential. I’ve created a GitHub issue for this: Multi-Instance Properties Lost When Changing Between Parallel and Sequential · Issue #1581 · bpmn-io/bpmn-js · GitHub

We’ll let you know when this is fixed. Thanks for reporting. :+1:
