Hi Team,
I’m currently working on an HRSD Lifecycle Events configuration and running into an issue where the Activity is not getting populated on the HR Task that is created via a subflow.
What I’m trying to achieve
Lifecycle Event → Pre-Start Activity Set
Activity Container → contains a Flow activity
Flow (subflow) creates an HR Task
The created HR Task should be properly linked to the Lifecycle Activity (so Activity Set Context shows it correctly)
Current behavior
HR Task is getting created successfully
Task is linked to the parent HR case
However, in Activity Set Context, the activity shows as empty for the task created by the subflow
Because of this, the task is not behaving like other lifecycle-generated tasks
My current configuration
Subflow inputs:
Case ID (GUID)
Activity Field Mapping:
sn_hr_le_case.sys_id → Case ID
In subflow → Create HR Task step:
Parent = HR Case (looked up)
Activity = Selected the Activity from drop down.
Stage/State/Template populated
Activity type = Flow (inside Activity Container)
Order of activities is correct
Issue
Despite the above, the HR Task created by the subflow is still showing Activity = empty in Activity Set Context.
Questions
What is the correct way to populate the Activity on HR Task when created via subflow inside a Lifecycle Activity Container?
Is the Activity input mandatory for Flow activities, or should we rely on “Activity generating this task”?
Are there any additional flags or configuration required for Lifecycle to recognize the task?
Is there a recommended OOTB pattern for this scenario?
If anyone has implemented this pattern successfully in HRSD Lifecycle Events, guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
