Issue 16102: Can Event Sub-Processes Loop? (bpmn2-rtf)
Source: Department of Veterans Affairs (Dr. Stephen White, steve.white(at)bookzurman.com)
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Significant
Summary: An Event Sub-Process is a type of Sub-Process. Sub-Processes, as Activities, can have loop settings--meaning that the entire Sub-Process, from the start to the end can be repeated. But how does this work for an Event Sub-Process? Is the Start Event trigger for the Event Sub-Process expected to be repeated? or is the Start Event just ignored?
