TaskQuery#taskVariableValueLike

I am an engineer living in Japan.
I am using Activiti for our application.

My application needs to create query using 'like' operation for task variables and process variables to find tasks.

Are there any solution to make 'like' query for using Activiti API?

I looked into API documents but I could not find good solution.

I try to add new interfaces. These interfaces look like,

    TaskQuery TaskQuery#taskVariableValueLike(String variableName, String variableValue);
    TaskQuery TaskQuery#processVariableValueLike(String variableName, String variableValue);
‍‍‍‍

And, I try to implement new interfaces.
Following are those code.

TaskQuery

package org.activiti.engine.task;

public interface TaskQuery extends Query<TaskQuery, Task>{
     :
    TaskQuery TaskQuery#taskVariableValueLike(String variableName, String variableValue);
    TaskQuery TaskQuery#processVariableValueLike(String variableName, String variableValue);
     :

TaskQueryImpl

package org.activiti.engine.impl;

public class TaskQueryImpl extends AbstractQuery<TaskQuery, Task> implements TaskQuery {

  :

  public TaskQuery taskVariableValueLike(String variableName, String variableValue) {
    variables.add(new TaskQueryVariableValue(variableName, variableValue, QueryOperator.LIKE, true));
    return this;
  }
  
  public TaskQuery processVariableValueLike(String variableName, String variableValue) {
    variables.add(new TaskQueryVariableValue(variableName, variableValue, QueryOperator.LIKE, false));
    return this;
  }
