Error passing record type in Process Model

Question

Hi, 
 I called a summary view interface in another interface using record relationship but having problem in the process model. 
 This is my Phase Title Interface calling another interface 'Summay View' using the rule input "titleinput" which is a record type. The interface works fine but when I try to create a process model, I am not able to call the parameters.

The expression used: 
 a!formLayout( label: "Selected Project", contents: { a!sectionLayout( contents: { rule!MD_PM_ProjectSummaryView(ri!titleinput['recordType!}MD_PM_PhaseTitle.relationships.}mdPmProjectdetail']) - I used the record relationship here. } 
 Process model: 
 
 Is it because titleinput is a record? 
 how to resolve this issue? or how can I use summary view interface in Phase title interface without using the title input record type? 
 Please advice. 
 TIA.

You'll have a much easier time if you can use the CDT type on your form instead. AFAIK process variables can't be Record Type (and it seems a bit silly that we can't just cross-typecast them even now). When in doubt, i find it can simplify things quite a bit to just pass a Primary Key ID around and handle the work on-form and/or in-process.

Hi , summary view interface is basically used for record view in record type. I would suggest you to query your data in a local variable and then pass it to your fields. You can use queryentity or queryRecordType and yes you can use related data using a!relatedData in queryRecordType.

To best answer this you'll probably need to provide some background detail for us, such as what inputs you're starting with, what information you want/need to pass into your Related Action, and what your output/result needs to be. 
 With those sorts of questions left unanswered, my default suggestion is to perhaps just pass in the Primary Key ID to your form, then query its CDT value using a!queryEntity(), and use that data on your form for display purposes.

Above is a project summary view using the rule input projectinput. 
 
 I am calling the project summary view interface in another interface Phase Title. I am using titleinput which is of phasetitle CDT to call the project summary interface. 
 How to reference the fields of summary view using titleinput rule input? Prjoject and PhaseTitle have one to many relationship. 
 I fixed the problem(don't know if this is a good practice) by using the expression: 
 a!formLayout( label: "Selected Project", contents: { a!sectionLayout( contents: { rule!MD_PM_ProjectSummaryView(ri!titleinput.projectid) } ), 
 Both the interface and process model are working fine. 
 But want to know how to use queryrecordtype() to do the same function. 
 I have another interfaces that must use the Phase title interface and don't know if the above expression will work the same way. 
 Thanks
