I have a _CompositeHistoryManager_ with the _DefaultHistoryManager_ and my own class to synchronize history with an external resource. My class extends _AbstractHistoryManager_ but _recordFormPropertiesSubmitted_ method is not called when, for example, I complete a task. I suspect this is happening because I only use TaskService and just inject variables inside process instance even when I’m using a form instance in my front-end application.  
So I have a few questions:

- Should I have start using _FormService_ for this purpose?
- What’s the difference between _org.flowable.engine.FormService_ and _org.flowable.form.api.FormService_?
- What should I do when I want to complete a task in a form context (using submitTaskFormData(String taskId, Map\<String, String\> properties)) and my property values are not strings?

Thank you in advance,
