Hi guys, i’m having some issues with survey variables not propagating down to nested workflows. I have Workflow A that has multiple jobs and Workflow B under it. I need a specific variable to be set on the original run of Workflow A and be usable by all the jobs / workflows. It seems like the jobs get the variable no problem, but Workflow B does not. Is there any way around this? I do not have a prompt set on Workflow B, so there shouldn’t be anything overwriting the value.
