If you add the "selectOnlyFormProperties=true" attribute to the query string of

POST query/historic-detail

You will only return variables that were submitted as part of a form.

I believe this is what you are after,

Thanks for the prompt answer.

I use the attribute selectOnlyFormProperties at true. But it does not return propertyNames 😕

With

POST query/historic-detail

the problem remains the same, I don't have the propertyNames which are my input control labels, then how to render the form without labelling my inputs ?

From: Activiti/modules/activiti-rest/src/main/java/org/activiti/rest/service/api/history/HistoricDetailResponse.java

public class HistoricDetailResponse {
...  
  // Form properties
  protected String propertyId;
  protected String propertyValue;
...
}

I am afraid the property name is never returned 😕 but it seems to me that display submitted form is a recurrent use case to implement.

No, it wont return "properties", rather it returns the variables that were bound to the form properties.

This is the closest you will get.
