For starting process instance by key using rest api, will accept List or Set collection in request payload?
I found in docs, it was mentioned only String, Boolean and number types. How to start a process instance with a collection as a process variable?
I wanted to set value like this,
"anotherVariable" : {
"value" : ["val1", "val2", "val3"],
"type" : "ArrayList"
}
Is that possible?

What happens when you try that?
In documentation, it was not mentioned that variable will support Collection type.
@Niall I was getting below exception:

Serialized Object should be sent to engine as JSON String with type=“Object”?
Like this?

The Example must be documented in camunda docs for Object Type. Examples available only for Primitive types.
