      For spike and testing, I got used to model my test processes via the Bpmn-Model Api.
      Now I am testing external task behavior, but it seems I cannot make a service task external using the fluent builder.

      Feature request: allow ServiceTaskBuilder to accept st like camundaExternalTask("topic") analogue to camundaDelegateExpression. "topic" ideally should also be parsed asexpression if used.

        This is the controller panel for Smart Panels app

            I believe this already exists with #camundaType and #camundaTopic. So you can do it already, although we could add another convenience method to save the call for type.

            Could you give an example, how I can use the camundaType/camundaTopic workaround?

            Like here: https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpmn-model/blob/7.8.0/src/test/java/org/camunda/bpm/model/bpmn/builder/ProcessBuilderTest.java#L501-L502

            Use "external" for the type argument and the actual topic.

            By the way, the rule of thumb for the fluent builder API is that the method names correspond to the extension attributes in the XML, i.e. camunda:delegateExpression becomes the fluent method #camundaDelegateExpression, etc.

            Therefore, I created a follow-up feature request CAM-8720
