Introduction of transient variables. Transient variables won’t be persisted in the process variable tables, but are still available on the execution for the duration of a single transaction. Transient variables can for example be used to store a REST response that is only needed to create a request to another REST service, or to use a Java service task result in the next Java service task without it getting persisted.
