    Description

      • given:
        • As an Optimize user, I have several processes started in my runtime platform
        • the process instances contain complex variable in JSON format
        • I start Optimize and it imports the data including the data contained in the complex JSON variables
      • when:
        • I create a process/decision report grouped by variable or filtered by a variable
        • I choose a subvariable extracted from a complex variable
      • then:
        • the subvariable behaves exactly as a regular variable

      Questions:

      • What should we do in case the complex variable is there but not the field?
        • Leave it blank
      • How do we group variables that don't have the complex variable?
        • Same as other variables
      • How are we dealing with arrays in JSON variables?
        • Provide an index value (users.pets.cats.1.name = Fluffy)
      • How can I define the field by which I want to group/filter?
        • Select an extracted sub-variable
      • What should we do if the variable has a lot of nesting? (e.g. define max depth)
        • Flatten it into a single value

      Hint:
      Check the flattening implementation from SUPPORT-7449.

       

      Scope summary from kickoff:

      • We want to do 2 things to import complex variable:
        1. Import entire raw value as one variable
        2. Flatten raw variable into multiple variables, one  for each property
      • Example: 
        instance has variable "user":{"firstname": "John", "lastName": "Smith"}.
        After import, we would have 3 variables: 
        • 1 named "user" with value "{"firstname": "John", "lastName": "Smith"}"
        • 1 named "user.firstName" with value "John"
        • 1 named "user.lastName" with value "Smith"
      • Note that flattened vars values can have  other primitive types than String as well (eg "user.age" with value 25)
