When a workflow is launched by an Inbox the variables listed in this page will be injected into the
workflow context. These variables can be used to configure actions that have runtime expression evaluation
enabled as follows: ${variables.[vaiableName]} (e.g. ${variables.resourceItemName}).

metadataDefinitionId |
