passing a variable to the workflow from a business rule does not work

[DoDo labs___]

Hi,

I am trying to pass a variable from business rule to workflow, but it does not receive it.

This is the business rule:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

var u_vars = {};

u_vars.u_met = 'Test 2';

var w = new Workflow();
var context = w.startFlow('ea52870687239e10d111646e8bbb357d', current, current.operation(), u_vars);

})(current, previous);

This is the workflow input:

And here is the workflow script:

var input = workflow.variables.u_vars;

var testing = new GlideRecord('incident');
testing.addQuery('number', 'INC0295583');
testing.query();
if (testing.next())
{
testing.comments = 'TEST 1';
testing.comments = input.u_met;
testing.update();
}

The workflow runs, since the TEST 1 comment is appear in the incident, but the test 2 value is not received.

I hope business rule and workflow are in same scope

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

var obj = {};
obj.u_met = 'Test 2';
var w = new Workflow();
var context = w.startFlow('ea52870687239e10d111646e8bbb357d', current, current.operation(), obj);

})(current, previous);

correct way to get the value is this

var input = workflow.inputs.u_vars; // don't use workflow.variables

var testing = new GlideRecord('incident');
testing.addQuery('number', 'INC0295583');
testing.query();
if (testing.next())
{
testing.comments = 'TEST 1';
testing.comments = input.u_met;
testing.update();
}

Yes, it is the same scope, but still but still only "TEST 1" is appear 😞
