Parallel Flow Launcher issues

We use a Parallel Flow Launcher to request access to applications for multiple applications in one Request.  It has been working fine, with a Parent Workflow and a sub.  I can choose up to 12 applications and it will create a separate task for each one.  The issue is, in the sub flow I use Create Task, but this does not give me the options to show the variables from the RITM. So in the sublfow I changed it to a Catalog Task that gives me the option to select the variables, but it is not creating all of the tasks now.  Can a Creat Catalog Task be used in a subflow or how can I get to pass the variables.

Hey Velvet,

I know this is super old but I saw your post had 127 views and figured I could at least offer a suggestion, based on what my team does with workflows when we are having issues passing variables between workflows.

Sometimes we will have the workflow activity create/update what we call "staging records" and use those records/attributes to pass information between workflows. I.e. one workflow/subflow may write a value on the custom staging record/attribute in an activity, and then another activity in a different workflow uses GlideRecord to find the record and read the value out of the record/attribute. Basically we create a custom data model and use GlideRecord to store and read information that might be normally be passed via variables.

Hope this is helpful for someone!
