BPMN - how to script iterating through tasks

I wish to create a script (Python etc.) that will allow me to iterate through BPMN tasks collect custom attribute from each in sequence (like TTE) and sum the TTE for a given branch. In the case of binary gateways recurse each branch getting times through the chart for each decision possibility. Hence being able to determine the shortest and longest routes based on decision branching. So if a completely linear process has 5 tasks each 60 min then the whole process should take 300 min. With a single branch one branch may take 450 min (short route process) and the other take 600 min (extended route process). Please advise. Thanks

Lucid Connector doesn't show diagrams on firefox

When i want to integrate a lucid chart with firefox i get asked to allow login with my account. After i agree i only see an empty window. From there on i am stuck on Firefox. When i open it with chrome is works like a charm.   I use Firefox 105.0.3 (64-Bit) and Google Chrome Version 106.0.5249.119 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit) I am a heavy Firefox user would be great if you can fix it also for Firefox.

Change orgchart tiers manually in Lucidchart

I would like to change tiers manually in my org chart. I have seen similar posts suggesting this more than a year ago. Is it possible? I want to have tier as a support team and the next tier will be all the departments but none of these departments will report directly to the support team but to the tier 1. Thank you.

Automatic page number update

I want to be able to display the page number of documents automatically. I found that there is a "page number" on the insertion tab. However even when inserting it the number is not changed automatically by copying to the second and subsequent pages. How can I automatically switch page numbers?

External Web Links now prompt rather than taking you there directly?

Hey we've been using Lucidchart for a while and make a lot of use of the 'Actions' on shapes so I can link to an external web page for more info. This works fine but recently the behaviour has changed where clicking on the shape now displays the link and I then have to click on the link to take me to the content. I'm sure it never used to do that and it seems to be doing the same on Chrome and MS Edge. How can I switch this off so it retains the old behaviour?

How to view grid on pages that have a master applied?

When I apply a master to a page the grid on the applied pages disappears. How can I see the grid again? Steps to repeat: Create a new diagram. Notice that Page 1 shows gridlines. Add a new page. Right click on the new page and select "Convert to Master Page" Right click on the newly created Master and select "Apply Master to All" Click on the Page 1 tab and notice that you can no longer see the gridlines.

How to remove or delete the document in the preview in Confluence

please explain how the Lucidchart Plugin for Confluence server works.We installed this plugin for testing purposes. We did not log in to the plugin because the tests were running. But it was revealed that the uploaded visio files automatically started to be sent to the lucid.app servers and have the following address https://lucid.app/documents/viewVisio/dd4708db-**** The global problem is that no one gave the right to publish documents in the public domain.But if you copy this link "https://lucid.app/documents/viewVisio/dd4708db-****" and paste it for example into chrome in safe mode then we will see that the files are published on the Internet and there is access to them. How can I make sure that these files are not published?How to make links stop working?What do you want from people? Tell   When opening the file in the "lucid.app" program there is a menu in the Chrome tab. But in this menu there is no button to delete the file / stop publishing it to the entire Internet.O

Share personal template with Team

I'm trying to share a Lucid Chart template I created with the Team. In the docs it mentions finding the template in Documents and clicking Share. This doesn't work because it is a Template and not found in my Documents list. When I go to Templates > Lucid Chart > Personal it appears but there is no sharing option. If I click on the template it creates a new document and I can share from there. But I don't want to share the document I want to share it as a Template so it appears as a Template for my Team ideally under Templates > Lucid Chart > Team for them. Thank you

BPMN diagram collapsed sub-process

I am looking to embed some processes using the BPMN elements. I see how to add a task event and add the plus sign to it to designate that there is a lover level of detail but not how to navigate to where I can then build the lower level map and then toggle back to the original map. I saw another post about this from 2020 where the official response was there was no timeline on this functionality but I imagine the option would not be available if we can't now embed so I must be missing something?
