how can i pass a workflow scratchpad variable to a sub workflow

dave_edgar · ‎11-02-2018

I have defined a scratchpad variable and thought these would carry accross to subworkflows but there are.

Parent workflow > runscript step:

workflow.scratchpad.var1 = 'test';

> subworkflow > runscript step:

gs.log('workflow.scratchpad.var1 ' + workflow.scratchpad.var1);

results in:

workflow.scratchpad.var1undefined

what am i doing wrong, currently very tired and confused

Check out these docs. They show you how to do this...

thanks Mark, I've tried it but think i've missed something.

It says to added a variable to workflow inputs, but i can't even see where this is.

No problem! Workflow variables are declared in a form available from the Workflow Editor gear menu. Check out this link for details. Feel free to ask again if you get hung up somewhere.

i feel like i'm going insane, I can't see a workflow editor gear icon, this is what i have:

This is what i see from the workflow burger icon:
New Workflow
Open Existing
Copy
Publish
Delete
Edit Stages
Edit Catalog Variables
Set Inactive
Expand transitions
Validate Workflow
Show Contexts
Properties
and Workflow Canvas Help
