Hi Team,

I am not getting _variables_ for closed/completed task from restAPI,

1. /flowable-rest/service/runtime/tasks/
2. /flowable-rest/service/history/historic-variable-instances?taskId=
3. /flowable-rest/service/history/historic-task-instances/

please help.

Thank you in advance!

I think you need to add the _ **includeProcessVariables=Yes** _ query parameter to the rest calls.
