formvalues property of deployment resource is always empty

[Dalmirog-zz]

Even if the deployment had prompted values, when retrieving the resource from the API the formvalues property is always an empty collection: /api/deployments/Deployments-359

{
  "Id": "Deployments-359",
  "ReleaseId": "Releases-379",
  "EnvironmentId": "Environments-1",

For the time being I would recomend the user following the Variables link in the Deployment resource. In this case to /api/variables/variableset-Deployments-359. Where you can see the variables for that deployment including those provided in prompt.

...
    {
      "Id": "9d55dd42-49a4-b957-81a4-bf7565f0a1cc",
      "Name": "Blah",
      "Value": "I AM A BLAH!!",
      "Scope": { "Project": [ "Projects-2" ], "User": [ "True" ] },
      "IsSensitive": false,
      "IsEditable": false,
      "Prompt": {
        "Label": "Blah",
        "Description": "Tell me whats the blah?",
        "Required": false
      }
    },
    {
      "Id": "adf24afd-1902-4654-a8bb-18d302c45eea",
      "Name": "Octopus.Release.Previous.Id",
   ...

The alternative is to pull down and query the variables each time the deployment is requested which is more DB hits.
