I have Modular/Parent workflow, which has just 2 child workflows in it. 

As part of the Parent workflow, I would like to return one of the childworkflows attribute.

But the attribute is not being shown in the setup>return parameters.  

What Am I missing ? or doing wrong ?

Attached is the screen shot of the same

Here is the screen shot of Child workflow

Here is the child workflow return parameters after adding the SVM which I want.

When a workflow is used as a step in another workflow, it is assigned a variable as seen in this pic below.

In the child workflow name the return parameter without any dot in it like this

 

child-return.png

 

and in the parent workflow you can use this return value as workflow1.snapmirror_dst_vs_name
