Property parameters specify additional variables assigned to BPMN elements. They’re evaluated and set when a token enters the element.
These parameters can be of various data types, such as strings, numbers, booleans, and more. They don’t have a default value.

| Type | The data type for the property: string, boolean, long, double, duration, DateTime. |
| Set as | Constant-fixed value, an expression-XPath 1.0 expression or as a distribution. |
