output is configured properly.

Its changed are reflected in apple. Just apple does not have the change reflected in its startprocess caller main.

Changed between apple and main are are only reflected via chaining. Adding a subprocess(core) node breaks this chaining so any changed before (core) or after it in apple done show up.

Passing by reference between apple and core has been attempted already. It has no impact.

You can not pass by reference between a start process node and the process it calls.

Main thing i want addressed is subprocesses break activity chaining which would allow the variables to propagate from core to main. Give it a try. You will find it does not react how you think.

Have you checked if the output variables for the Core sub proc are mapped properly?

You can pass by reference the process variable from Main process -> Apple -> Core. This way updates to that pv in core process will be reflected all the way in the main parent process. However I see you are using Start process smart service which does not support passing by reference so you will have to update this to a sub-process call.

Having said that, passing by reference isn't a best practice if the process variable is a CDT. If you are dealing with CDT's or if you are looking for other alternatives, take a look at the plugin that allows to get and set PV's across processes.https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/get-and-set-external-process-variables
