Description
The new version of the DMN Editor VS Code Extension saves DMN files as version 1.5 (the old editor saves as 1.2).
I assume (need to verify!) that recent Kogito DMN Engine updates support DMN 1.5.
I've also experimented with opening our existing DMN files with the new editor, which "works", but with caveats - notably, it doesn't look like including external models works with DMN 1.5 (I found this issue, which alludes to the problem).
Also, the rules for how nodes can be placed have changed (you can't place references to the same node on the same DRD).
There are probably other caveats that I haven't yet discovered, but the positive side is that the new editor appears to solve some long-standing gripes like copy/pasting elements on the diagram along with other UX issues.
I think the next step is to let the Apache incubator folks cook and check back on the epic issue referenced above in a couple of months (continuing to use DMN 1.2 for now).
