    Description

      Given:
      Any BPMN process with a Sub Process with output parameters, but no outgoing arrows.

      When:
      The process is started.

      Then:
      The engine throws an exception:

      Runtime result:

      Expected:

      The output parameters are executed without throwing an exception.

      Note:

      • Attached are full logs and an example process.
      • In the case of no output parameters, it works fine, without an exception.
