Starting a workflow with Call Web Service timing out

is it only reason to pass data into child workflow so that you use web service?

if so, then you still can use Start Workflow action, but you need to declare variables in child workflow as 'Show on start form'

Thanks Marian, I did not know you could do this!  I thought you had to use Call Web Service to start the workflow if you wanted to pass data.  I will definitely give it a try!

Hi Marian,

The variables that I want to pass to the child workflow are defined and populated in the parent workflow.  I am using the "Start Workflow" action. 

In the child workflow, the variables are defined and 'Show on start form' is checked.  Required is not checked - should it be?  When I run the parent workflow, none of the variables is populated in the child.  What am I missing?

Thanks!

have you reconfigured start workflow action in parent workflow?

there should appear new input parameters once you changed child workflow.

if so, try so write parameters handed over to history log, both in parent workflow and child workflow, to make sure they are really populated the way you expect.

if that still doesn't help, post how does you configuration looks like, and provide info what are data types of passed parameters.

Worked like a champ once the "Start Data" fields showed up on the "Start Workflow" action.  They weren't there the first time I configured it.

Thanks again Marian, you're the best!

not yet, but maybe once

And how is this trick done in O365?!

I'm sorry, I do not know. I've no experience with O365.

You??? Really?
