When using the gateway in BPMN 2.0 is it possible to change the text as it is always under the gateway and lines can make it difficult to read in certain ocasions is it possible to move the text above it or to the sides?

Hi @RDL, thank you for continuing this thread! Unfortunately, there currently are no updates on this feature request.

As a workaround you can remove the text under the shape (so that it is empty) and then by creating a text box placing it to the side of the object and grouping them together. 

We are continuously looking for ways to improve our products and your input is the most effective way to achieve that goal. There is an existing idea thread for this request which I’ve linked below:

Is this fixed in the last 2 years? I am facing the same issue.

Hi LucidChart team

Can you please provides us a status on this enhancement. As mentioned while using the BPMN 2.0 it really brings some challenges to read the text if this one is in the bottom of the gateway. Appreciate if you can provide us an update on this subject?

Thanks

Fabricio

Lucid - It’s past time to shore-up and implement this feature request.

The prior thread had 27 votes, but it’s closed and does not appear to have been delivered. It points to numerous other thread including this one, which is thankfully still open to post on/in.

@Micah What can be done to get this onto the feature backlog?
