Can anyone suggest me the process?

Hi,

For that you can put your value in workflow.scratchpad.variablename and then pass that value using return value activity ${workflow.scratchpad.variablename}

SubFlow  

1) Run Script Activity

In Subflow you can pass your value in workflow scratchpad variable and then pass it to parent workflow using return value activity 

2)Return Value Activity

Below screenshot shows use return value activity in subflow 

Parent Workflow

3)In Parent workflow, Click on Subflow workflow and then Put that scratchpad variable name in Map return value to

4) And then use this Workflow scratchpad variable is in Parent flow in any activity of parent flow.

I hope it will help you

Please Mark Correct/Helpful answer if it help you in any way.

Thanks,

Thanks for clearing my query. I have one more query on this, can I use static values instead of scratchpad variable?

[Kunal Varkhede]

No I don't think so that you can pass the static value in this

Thank you so much for resolving my issue! one more query from my side i.e can we create parent workflow and child workflow on different tables?(e.g:child workflow on incident table and parent workflow on problem table)
