variables

A JSON object containing variable key-value pairs. Each key is a variable name and each value a JSON variable value object.

Name	Description
value	The variable's value. For variables of type `Object`, the serialized value has to be submitted as a String value. For variables of type `File` the value has to be submitted as Base64 encoded string.
type	The value type of the variable.
valueInfo	A JSON object containing additional, value-type-dependent properties. For serialized variables of type `Object`, the following properties can be provided: `objectTypeName`: A string representation of the object's type name. `serializationDataFormat`: The serialization format used to store the variable. For serialized variables of type `File`, the following properties can be provided: `filename`: The name of the file.

local	Indicates whether the variable must be created and/or update locally or not. If set to `true`, the creation or update happens locally and will not be propagated upwards in the execution hierarchy.
