Cammunda 8.8 REST API problem with UserTask variable filter

[ilya.sector.1]

Hi all!

I’m trying to send an HTTP request to find a UserTask, but I’m getting a 400 error from the API. Using this documentation, I see that processInstanceVariables is used for filtering. My UserTask is in a process instance. The instance contains a variable called “createdFrom”: “BlazorUI.” See screenshot:

But i cant find my UserTask (0 items)

User “localVariables”:

If i delete filter i find many items

Could you please tell me what I’m doing wrong? Why isn’t it finding the UserTasks it should have? The screenshot shows that one should have been found. If I’m doing something wrong, how should I adjust the query so it finds the right UserTask?
Thanks in advance!

FWIW Im having a similar problem. It is not clear which, if any, of the attributes in the request body are mandatory…

I dont get an error, just an empty response set when Im expecting at least one task…

Solution - add to string value variables ““ additional
quotation marks and this working for me

@ilya.sector.1 and @Webcyberrob - can you confirm that the value returned from the request also contains the quotes? In other words, that the value stored in your process is "value" and not just value?

Hi Nathan,

The process instance was started with a json payload comprising strings, eg

…

“applicationId” : “CA000001”

…

To search for user tasks associated with this string variable, I have to add the escaped string into the query…
