I think this is the best suggestion.

OK. It is not possible to do it in this specific way. Can you help use to understand that UI from a more abstract perspective?

My default suggestion would be that you should do the API call in the parent interface in that case. If it's supposed to start out there, then why not make it actually start out there?

The interface calls a specific REST API endpoint and we want to be able to output the data we got from the API to the parent interface without any user interaction.

What purpose would this serve?

Agreed with Stefan - one common work around is that you can set a default value for your rule inputs in the value of your activity class parameter in your process model, or you can also use local variables on the form and then save the results at the end into a rule input.

That's not possible.

But when you explain your use case, I am sure we can help you with some ideas.
