Error description

• When you work in IBM Process Portal, you notice that it takes a
  long time for the page to open for instances containing a large
  amount of task data.
  
  A change introduced with interim fix JR53887 requires Process
  Portal to call the process details REST API by using the parts
  parameter with the new value excludeTaskData
  (/rest/bpm/wle/v1/process/<instanceId>?parts=excludeTaskData).
  However, this call for process details returns large amounts of
  unnecessary task data, which takes a long time to load.
