Symptom
Is it possible to retrieve the variables from an already existing workflow case? It is needed that a creator of an already existing case will be populated to the new workflow case.
Resolution
The variables exchange is possible only in the constellation main process <-> sub process. You could define there which variables should be delivered/retrieved to another process.
It is not possible to retrieve a variable otherwise.
This idea hasn't been implemented, and has been forwarded to our Product Managers as a Feature Request.
