Acceptance Criteria (Required on creation):

In https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.16/user-guide/process-engine/variables/#input-output-variable-mapping, it is not clear to which scope local variable is created once variable is defined via InputParameter in Modeler. In actual, variable is created local to execution rather than local to activity in this case.

Change following line: "The name attribute of an inputParameter denotes the variable name inside the activity (a variable to be created in local to execution scope)"
