      The docs say:
      "Suspending a process instance is helpful, if you want ensure that it is not executed any further."

      Yet it is possible to modify a suspended process instance and continue process execution that way. This means, starting before an activity will actually execute activities until a wait state is reached.

      It is also possible to cancel activity instances of a suspended process instance. However, this might be desired since it is also possible to delete the entire process instance when suspended.

      Expected behavior:
      modification that starts activities fails

      The reason could be that modification creates new executions and these don't inherit the suspension state from their parents.

      Possibly related: The same problem might exist with non-interrupting boundary events/event subprocesses, i.e. it might be possible to trigger such an event for a suspended process instance.

        This is the controller panel for Smart Panels app
