This can be definitely done but just wanted know what is your use case? Are you trying to call that process model from outside as a WEB API or any other use case that you are especially looking for?

Hi Mayank,

CDT can be passed as a parameter in a process model. There might be a few issues if the CDT is passed by reference and the same CDT type is modified and active instances exist.

Please refer https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/18.3/Sub-Process_Activity.html

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/18.3/Sub-Process_Activity.html#passing-a-process-variable-as-a-reference for more info.

Is your query regarding any specific use case. If so, if you can describe that, we would be able to provide more information.

Thanks,

Hema

Yes we can. Select Parameter check Box in process variables (to which you want to pass value).

Yes you can

However they should not be passed with the "Pass as reference" option selected as versioning of the CDT can often break this type of use.
