! !Hello Som,

Here is the documentation on how to do that.

1. Define inputs on the subflow - Define inputs for a subflow

2. Pass inputs from main workflow to subflow - Invoke a subflow in a workflow

Here is an example -

This example simply passes the value of short description field on incident form to a subflow. The subflow then copies the value of short description over to description field.

Step 1 - Create an input variable in subflow of type string and label it as short des

Step 2 - Add a run script to read the input variable in subflow

Step 3 - Drag and drop the subflow in main flow. You will get a dialog where you need to set the value of input variable you created in subflow in step 1.

Let me know if you need any additional info on this.

Thanks so much Ashwinkumar!

I actually have a out of the box workflow, which has a sub-workflow. I want to assign the values to sub-workflow from the form.

What is the best way to do it. Thanks again!

[rocktheboat]

I was just able to work it out. (actually the form was missing value, dhu)

in the sub-workflow that is what worked well for me (in advance script section).

task.columnName = current.columnName;

Ex.

task.assignment_group = current.assignment_group;
