Description
Not exactly sure how to categorize this, its not really a bug; however, the configuration is just weird.
- In practice, we generate PDFs for tasks, not data types. This has been the case for a long time, but I'm not sure how things used to work in ye olden days.
enablePdfCreationis an option for data types inapplicationmetadata, instead of a task/process configuration.- With multiple data models, this results in generating the same PDF multiple times if several data models for a given task has
"enablePdfCreation": true.- So for now, you have to manually make sure only one of the data models used in a task has
enablePdfCreation, if you use multiple data models for a single task.

Discussion summary:
- Yes, configuring pdf on data types is confusing/wrong and should be changed in v9.
- Yes, bad structure, but the current solution works for introducing multiple data models in v8.
- From
8.1.0you won't get duplicate pdfs for a task even if multiple data elements on the task enables pdf generation.
Given that nothing here is a pressing issue and requires backwards incompatible changes, I'll add this to the v9 milestone, and hopefully we will fix it at the same time as other configuration issues.
