      Copied from the PR description:

      If a file variable is passed to a ExternalTask as inputParameter (local variable) loading the variable value fails because the variable is not present in result of query /execution/<PROCESS_INSTANCE_ID>/localVariables/<NAME>/data. (It is however present in /execution/<EXECUTION_ID>/localVariables/<NAME>/data but the global variables are missing here...)

      I fixed this by using /variable-instance endpoint where all variables both local and global are present. From this endpoint I first load the variable's ID and than load the data by calling /variable-instance/<VARIABLE_ID>/data. This solution consists of two API requests but I don't think this could be done in a single request because in fetchAndLock there is no data based on which we could differentiate whether the variable is local or global.

        This is the controller panel for Smart Panels app
