Can you explain your set up how you are consuming your parent interfaces and if the issue is with the parent interface only or the process what your parent interface triggers?

got your answer, but I am calling process model from interface using a!process. Not configured my interface directly in process model

Well, it looks like you have not configured your form in the process model correctly.

Make sure you are modelling your process correctly so that you can save values from a form.

spefically, ensure you have mapped properly your interface inputs in Activity class variables (Data - > Input tab of your User Interface) and you have a process variable getting them saved into

something like

You can configure your parent interface here in the node

it depends on how you have configured the process model.

Can you share that ?

Also, can you describe what happens when you submit the form, does the process continues with blank comments ?

If you check individually it will work, when you test with process model it will not work

can you share some screenshots?

It looks okay to me

Can you check what are the data types of comment in both the interfaces?

PARENT INTERFACE

rule!RLM_section_updateAssignee(
requestId: ri!requestId,
buttonValue: ri!buttonValue,
requestData: ri!requestData,
comments: ri!comments
)

CHILD INTERFACE

a!paragraphField(
label: "Comment",
instructions: "(" & 255 - len(ri!comments) & ")",
value: ri!comments,
saveInto: a!save(ri!comments,save!value),
refreshAfter: "KEYPRESS",
readOnly: false()
),

I want to pass the comment value from child to parent which I am going to use in process model.

I have test interface individually and it is working fine, but value is not passing from child interface

Can you provide some screenshot / code of your way of implementation ?

Also, did you try to test the interfaces individually, as in does the rule input gets updated in the parent / child interfaces

Submit means that the task in a process is completed and the process flow continues.

In interfaces, data can be shared between top-down from parent to children. Sharing data then means that you need to use a rule input or a local on the parent and pass it to a rule input of the child. Then changing a value in the child will reflect in the parent.
