More information about this can be found here: <a href="https://forum.appian.com/suite/wiki/72/Sub-Process_Activity#Passing_a_Process_Variable_as_a_Reference">forum.appian.com/.../Sub-Process_Activity</a> <br /><br />However, doing so is not a best practice since any custom data types incorporated in a sub-process and mapped as a reference must exactly match the CDTs used in the parent process. Thus, if the CDT is deleted, the Pass as Reference configuration can fail.<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Hi All, Is there any way that we pass a CDT by Reference ?...<p style='display:https://community.appian.com/thread/3802?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 28 Aug 2013 17:33:23 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:ee566f65-9c36-42b3-b75d-844b594e7255Steven MiccileIt is against best practices to pass a CDT byreference in case it changes. You can use the input and outputs variables to pass the CDT when the subprocess begins and ends, and in-between save the CDT to the database and query for the current value when needed.<div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Hi All, Is there any way that we pass a CDT by Reference ?...<p style='display:https://community.appian.com/thread/3801?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 28 Aug 2013 17:32:40 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:c6fb8f15-46a9-4097-bd9a-3e49eca8517eshelzleCould you please elaborate a bit on your use case.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
