Return Parameter in a Modular Workflow

Adai — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:01:09 GMT

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

Parent Workflow Return Parameter

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

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

Thanks parag. That worked. I dint know the . in the parameter name in the child workflows was the issue.

BTW can you help me understand what is the P with an circling arrow around it mean ?

I couldnt find what it means in any documentation.
