Description
**Describe the bug**
The [document of CMMN History Level](https://documentation.flowable.com/latest/develop/be/history-level#cmmn) describes when History Level = Full, the changes of variables will be stored.
But it is not implemented yet.
**Expected behavior**
If I changed variables in the runtime, the change history should be stored and can be retrieved from `act_hi_varinst` and `act_hi_detail` tables
**Code**
The BPMN engine (org.flowable.engine.impl.history.DefaultHistoryManager.java) has a method recordHistoricDetailVariableCreate that checks isHistoryLevelAtLeast(HistoryLevel.FULL) and creates a HistoricDetailVariableInstanceUpdateEntity — a separate row for every variable change. This is what powers the history/historic-detail REST endpoint with detailType: "variableUpdate" and revision numbers. So the how history stored.
```
@Override
public void recordHistoricDetailVariableCreate(VariableInstanceEntity variable, ExecutionEntity sourceActivityExecution, boolean useActivityId,
String activityInstanceId, Date createTime) {
String processDefinitionId = getProcessDefinitionId(variable, sourceActivityExecution);
if (getHistoryConfigurationSettings().isHistoryEnabledForVariableInstance(processDefinitionId, variable)
&& isHistoryLevelAtLeast(HistoryLevel.FULL, processDefinitionId)) {
HistoricDetailVariableInstanceUpdateEntity historicVariableUpdate = getHistoricDetailEntityManager().copyAndInsertHistoricDetailVariableInstanceUpdateEntity(variable, createTime);
if (StringUtils.isNotEmpty(activityInstanceId)) {
historicVariableUpdate.setActivityInstanceId(activityInstanceId);
} else {
if (useActivityId && sourceActivityExecution != null) {
HistoricActivityInstanceEntity historicActivityInstance = findHistoricActivityInstance(sourceActivityExecution, false);
if (historicActivityInstance != null) {
historicVariableUpdate.setActivityInstanceId(historicActivityInstance.getId());
}
}
}
}
}
```
The CMMN engine (DefaultCmmnHistoryManager.java) has none of this:
- Zero references to HistoryLevel.FULL anywhere in the file
- Zero references to "detail" or HistoricDetail entities
- No recordHistoricDetailVariableCreate method
- The CmmnHistoryManager interface doesn't even define such a method
