Call sub flow from workflow run script

[Girish12]

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 

I am invoking a sub flow synchronously from workflow run script activity, however it is not waiting at the run script activity till the sub flow completes and it going to the next steps. Is there a way to stop the run script activity till the sub flow completes?

since you are calling the subflow via script and it's synchronous call using inForeground() method it should wait

share your script here and some screenshots.

Please check the below code

try {
    var inputs = {};
    inputs['incident'] = current; // GlideRecord of table: task 

    // Start Asynchronously: Uncomment to run in background. Code snippet will not have access to outputs.
    // sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().subflow('global.create_problem_from_incident_using_workflow_script').inBackground().withInputs(inputs).run();

    // Execute Synchronously: Run in foreground. Code snippet has access to outputs.
    var result = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().subflow('global.create_problem_from_incident_using_workflow_script').inForeground().withInputs(inputs).run();
    var outputs = result.getOutputs();

    // Get Outputs:
    // Note: outputs can only be retrieved when executing synchronously.
    var incident_task = outputs['incident_task']; // Reference

} catch (ex) {
    var message = ex.getMessage();
    gs.error("error in workflow Script for subflow " + message);
}

And also find the screenshots of workflow context and sub flow context

not a good idea to make workflow run script wait based on flow outcome

Why not move that logic to workflow wait itself?
