=== Problem description =========================
I have a problem with custom activities that implement ExternalActivityBehaviour (beside JIRA issue with history and custom activities).
In process definition, custom task is the last activity in process. But I can't find it or signal it by name (see Custom Activity search).
Instead of finding CustomTask, process instance reports that active execution is still in subprocess BarSubProcess (although subprocess has ended, and the task HumanTask that follows it has also ended), but I can signal it with transition of the CustomTask.
So to put it simple, I haven't managed to find a way to find and signal custom activity through activityName.
Anyone has run into this problem? I've searched jBPM JIRA but haven't found nothing related to this.
