      Use Case

      At the moment the fetchAndLock API of External Tasks requires to specify all variables which the worker is interested explicitly. This means the worker has to know all variable names in advance before calling the API.

      It is desirable to allow workers to fetch all variables of the execution of the external task.

      Hint

      The handling of serialized values should either be configurable or explicitly documented.

        This is the controller panel for Smart Panels app

            based on org.camunda.bpm.engine.impl.core.variable.scope.AbstractVariableScope#collectVariables we would gather all variables if none are provided in the list. Will try to add corresponding unit test.

            Decisions

            • leave Rest code as is
            • adjust javadocs to state everything explicitly
            • do not add parameters to configure deserialization and scoping
            • add tests to verify behavior
