Error description

• A task narrative that contains variables cannot be evaluated if
  the task is in the end state and the variable does not belong to
  the top-level business process definition (BPD). In the
  SystemOut.log and Trace.log files, you see an exception similar
  to the following exception:
  
   JavaScriptRun E   CWLLG2015E:  An unexpected runtime exception
  occurred. See exception for more details.  Error: Undeclared
  local variable, input or output parameter varDifferentName found
  in service "ParentProcess" item "UNKNOWN" location "UNKNOWN".

Local fix

Problem summary

• For tasks that are in the end state, the correct variable scope
  can no longer be determined. Evaluating the narrative by using
  the wrong variable scope causes the UndeclaredVariableRuntime
  exception. The last evaluation result for the task narrative is
  already persisted and is returned instead of trying to
  re-evaluate the narrative.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for V8.5.6.0 and is planned to be made
  available for V8.5.5.0 that handles the narrative of tasks that
  do not belong to a top-level BPD.
