@christinaausley We can completely remove this section that describes that process publishing via a start form is not supported on 8.7. This is already mentioned in the documentation related to process publishing in Web Modeler. That way, this document only describes how to start a process from Tasklist.
Wdyt?

For some reason this comment isn't showing up anymore -- @volodymyr-melnykc do you still feel this way?

Based on this comment, does this mean these changes may not apply until 8.9 @volodymyr-melnykc? If so, I will close this out, and we can reopen if the changes re-emerge.

@christinaausley We will need to make a final decision on how to proceed with public processes on SaaS. We might conclude that we'll allow process publishing on Self-Managed but not SaaS (due to security reasons). This decision will be made for the 8.8 release.

In this case, the drafted documentation can be relevant (as it primarily focuses on SaaS).

@volodymyr-melnykc I will apply a hold label 👍
