Subflow returns the wrong result when called in Workflow

[Community Alums]

I created a subflow so that I could call it in a legacy workflow. All it does it query whether a user is a member of an AD group. When I call it in a workflow using a script activity it returns true. Yet when I call it from a background script or directly from flow designer with the same inputs I get false which is what I am expecting because the user is not in the AD group. 

********Background Script*************

var inputs = {};

inputs['user'] = 'secyorkb'; // String
inputs['group'] = 'SN.03 Test Related App - SOC1'; // String
// Execute Synchronously: Run in foreground. Code snippet has access to outputs.
var result = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().subflow('global.is_user_in_group').inForeground().withInputs(inputs).run();
var outputs = result.getOutputs();

// Get Outputs:
// Note: outputs can only be retrieved when executing synchronously.
var is_member = outputs['is_member']; // True/False
gs.addInfoMessage('XX: outputs ' + is_member); ----> This returns false

************Subflow***************

***********Workflow Script Activity*************

I hard coded the values to make sure it would definitely use the same data

try {

    var reqType = workflow.scratchpad.requestType; //Normal/Elevated/Service

    var adUser = 'secyorkb';

    var groupName = 'SN.03 Test Related App - SOC1';

    var inputs = {};

    inputs['user'] = adUser; // String

    inputs['group'] = groupName; // String

    gs.log('XX:3 inputs: ' + inputs.user + inputs.group);

    // Execute Synchronously: Run in foreground. Code snippet has access to outputs.

    var result = sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().subflow('global.is_user_in_group').inForeground().withInputs(inputs).run();

    var outputs = result.getOutputs();

    // Get Outputs:

    // Note: outputs can only be retrieved when executing synchronously.

    var is_member = outputs['is_member']; // True/False

    gs.log('XX:4 outputs ' + is_member);

    workflow.scratchpad.isMember = is_member; ------->returns true

} catch (ex) {

    var message = ex.getMessage();

    gs.error(message);

}

What could be causing the workflow activity to return true when the other two methods return false

Instead of putting 2 mins wait activity, try keeping the wait time in the script itself just after calling subflow.

Using gs.sleep(milliseconds). Not a best Practice but you can still try to see if it's a synchronous issue

It turns out that though I was passing in a string to function it was treating it as an object for some reason. Once I added .toString() it works fine.
