This functionality should be documented, including all its configs and potential limitations. Details of this to be added as I work through the BE tickets.

Things to mention:

• requires engine side spin configuration to serialise to application/json
• requires engine side spin configuration to serialise with a given dateFormat (otherwise, dates are formatted as timestamps, which for Optimize will look like Longs)

• • Zeebe: mention importance to give date string in reasonable format, otherwise its just a timestamp (which will result in a number variable in Optimize)
• explain how lists are handled
• external variable API: additional serializationDataFormat field required, and that optimize only supports json atm
• external variable API: clarity thtat "type" can also be object
• Explain filter behaviour for lists
• raw csv exports exclude object variables

AT:

• Document complex variable import functionality
