I can copy all variables from a process instance

[pedesen]

Description

In Operate, the user can see all process instance variables and their values based on the workflow. In certain scenarios it’s useful to let users copy those variables and use them elsewhere.

Here’s a more specific example. When the user wants to test and validate Camunda forms, the process instance variables which are available in Operate are helpful to use as a form input. A big limitation with our forms right now is that there is no context about available data. Even when a form is part of a BPMN process, when reviewing it individually (in the Form Editor), it’s not clear what data the user can operate with. A proper data management for Camunda forms is our long-term goal, though before we get there, as a quick win, we can enable the user to copy all variables from Operate (as a JSON) to use as a form input. In this case, the user can quickly test a form and define how it should be handled based on data source.
