Thanks for reply, does the data-element ID is unique which is automatically assigned to Tasks or gateway? would this be possible that one of the task ID of Diagram A and Diagram B has similar Data-element ID?

Many Thanks,
Waq

Hi,

ID of each element is unique within a diagram’s scope. So combining with some sort of diagram key/identifier you should get unique composite key for an element.

Kind regards,
Vladimir
