Thanks but your response doesn't answer my question. If you don't know please don't respond. If the answer is you can't then that would be a legitimate answer.

....but......you could save the feed id into a constant and reference it that way if you wanted. Keep in mind though that this will create some additional overhead when migrating to other environments as this constant will need updating.

Thanks Mike - To give you a little background I wanted to create a sub-process to handle my Posting Events/Messages one of which was the "Post Event to Feed". This way I could just reuse the sub-process and return the EventID when I create a new Posting Event. Since I can't create the Feed Type as a process variable and Pass in the Feed I am stuck having to always use the "Smart Service". It seems like a limitation.

Makes perfect sense - great idea for reuse! Remember to add the feed ID constants to your deployment plan. Good luck!
