Hi,
generally speaking, Flowable is not used "as-is" with all its features,
but embedded through an extension.
In particular, Flowable Forms are not used as standalone entities, but
rather as they used to work since the time of Activiti, e.g. embedded in
the BPMN process definition.
Also the Flowable Modeler is embedded with only the capabilities
relevant to Syncope.
If you want to see a working sample of user request (with forms), create
new user requests from Admin Console, name it "assignPrinterRequest" and
paste the content of
https://github.com/apache/syncope/blob/2_1_X/fit/core-reference/src/main/resources/assignPrinterRequest.bpmn20.xml
or create another, name it "directorGroupRequest" and paste the content of
https://github.com/apache/syncope/blob/2_1_X/fit/core-reference/src/main/resources/directorGroupRequest.bpmn20.xml
Once defined, user requests can be managed either via REST or Admin
Console (for approval) / Enduser UI (for starting / canceling / checking
status / etc.)
Hope this clarifies.
Regards.

On my maven build, and on the publicly hosted demo, I am unable to do
anything with forms inside the flowable modeler.
(extensions -> flowable -> select item from table -> flowable modeler)
- When selecting an event, like the start event, and clicking on
"form reference", an error is displayed:
There was an error loading the forms. Try again later
Also, the only enabled button is "Cancel".
I ran the Flowable all-in-one to try and find a configuration
difference. In this app, all the buttons are enabled, and no error
message is shown. And, there is an entire menu bar up top (Processes,
Case Models, Forms, Decision Tables, Apps) that is displayed. That
menu bar is present on my syncope install when I open up the developer
tools, but it's just not visible.
Is this a matter of configuration? Does Flowable need to be running
in parallel with syncope for form design?
Thank you for any guidance you can provide.
