• What is your wish?
  Ability to easily change the actor linked to an existing swimlane in a BPMN diagram
  
  
• What is the problem you encounter?
  If you have modelled a BPMN-diagram, including an actor and swimlane with BPMN-symbols, later you might want to change the actor. For instance: a decision was made to delegate the activities, or shift to another role, or in the actormodelling you decide to split a certain actor in various roles.
  
  
• In that case, currently, you:

1. Add the actor to the process and create new swimlane
2. Manually shift all the activities and other BPMN-symbols to the new swimlane
3. Remove the swimlane and old actor from the process

• Why do you want this wish?
  This is quite some manual work! Especially when the actorchange impacts a number of processes. 
• Do you have a workaround? And if so, what is it?
  No
• How would you ideally solve the problem?
  Scenario 1: Ability to edit BPMN-diagram, click on the actor and have an option 'Change to other actor' . Click, select actor, swimlane actor name is updated, done. 
• Scenario 2: Bulk change (but lets start with scenario 1, hopefully sometime before 2030)

•  
• How big is the problem on a scale from 1 to 5?
  (1 = it would be nice, but definitely not necessary,
  5 = I can't work another day without it).

  Hi all,

  We have made it possible to easily replace a connected ArchiMate object in the Alpha version of the new BPMN that is currently being tested by a selected group of customers.

  Thank you,

  Need this ASAP, as dragging objects to a different swimlane doesn't impact the connector key points.. So I now have to manually drag every key point to a new location.

  Ik denk dat we Q2 wel kunnen vergeten.
