ICONS can be added in html mode, a convenient color modification

Describe the solution you'd like

ICONS can be introduced in html+svg mode to facilitate subsequent modification of icon colors

{
      group: 'edit',
      className: 'bpmn-icon-end-anythind',
      title: translate('Append Anything'),
      html: `<div class="entry">

I have an implementation of bpmn-js version 11.1.0 with all compatible plugins for that version.

Upgrading to the new version, I found that the appendMenuProvider to modify the entries of the appendMenu is no longer exported and modifiable in this package.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would prefer an approach similar to the old one, where I could import the provider and modify its behavior.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A working workaround I found is this:

import { CreateAppendAnythingModule } from "bpmn-js-create-append-anything";

const AppendMenuProvider = CreateAppendAnythingModule.__depends__[0].appendMenuProvider[1];

Unfortunately, I haven't found anything regarding this new implementation of the appendMenuProvider; I just need to modify and filter the menu entries.

As a user I'm confronted with a large list of choices in the create, replace, and append menu. While usually I just want to continue to model the way I am used to (i.e. service task only in microservice orchestration case).

Describe the solution you'd like

Rather than showing a huge list of options, only show what the user is likely to use; make everything else discoverable as a second look (i.e. via search or view more).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Stick to "static" nature of these menues.

Additional context

Raised as feedback by @marstamm, too.

Describe the Bug

As a user I want to create a non interrupting message start event in an event sub-process, but I cannot find it.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Trigger create menu
2. Search for non
3. Non interrupting start events do not appear in the list

Expected Behavior

Non interrupting start events appear once searched for. I don't think it is strictly necessary to show them all the time.

Environment

• Browser: Any
• OS: Any
• Library version: 11.3.0

When I drag a subprocess from the palette, it already contains a start event which is very convenient. It's not the case with subprocesses appended via this library.

Describe the solution you'd like

Given I append or create:

• a subprocess
• a transaction
• an event subprocess

it should contain a start event from the beginning.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Do nothing.

Additional context

Discovered in a meeting with @falko, @NPDeehan, and @marco-as-lopes

What should we do?

Move Call Activity to subprocesses group.

Why should we do it?

Call Activity is more connected to subprocess than to a task.

Currently both the create and append anything popup menu list all elements that can be created. The append popup menu does not limit the list to elements that can be appended which can will often hide the most relevant elements in the list.

Example: Event-based gateway

There are only a few elements that can be appended but they're hard to find. It doesn't really make sense to offer any other options here.

Describe the solution you'd like

Change append anything to only list elements that can be appended. This could also be configurable so users can decide themselves.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Require users to add their own provider that filters the list.
