Hey Rajababu,

In addition to @Anil Shewale   and @Vishakha Pradhan 

Refer the below Link also For workflow.scratchpad.variable:

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/helsinki-servicenow-platform/page/administer/using-workflows/conc...

 

For Edit Input Refer the Screenshots:

Parent workflow:

find_real_file.png

 

Then in childworkflow:

Create Edit input:

find_real_file.png

Create variable.

After that access parent variable value in child:

 

find_real_file.png

 

Value which is get from parent will access like above.

u_val is my input variable internal name.

And lastly when we are attaching subflow to parent there will have to insert value to pass to subflow.

find_real_file.png

Val is my input variable name.
