Hello I am not sure if I get the point here. I would like to forward a variable throughout some decisions but without persisting them (sensitive data that should not be in my DB) could this idea of "transient variable" be what I am looking for? but then I do not quite understand the thread shekharv is referring to : the variables set by ExecutionService are persisted, aren't they?
