Currently, in 5.8, it's not possible to get the list of Datafield in the current operation 'Tasks'
Step to see it:
A) Activate Workflow REST
B) Go to this URL: https://nintex.k2test.com/api/workflow/preview/swagger/index#!/Tasks
or
https://nintex.k2test.com/Api/Workflow/Preview/tasks
Result: The node 'workflowInstanceDataFields' is not present: only actions and systemActions are available
Expected result: Other node 'workflowInstanceDataFields' should be here.
Note: we can add too 'activityDataFields', 'workflowInstanceXmlFields','itemReferences' and maybe 'workflowInstanceDataFieldsString' that we have with get /tasks/{serialNumber}
