Indeed, the

onSuccess: {
a!save(ri!contact, fv!processInfo.pv.contact)

did it.

in the 'onSuccess' you can have an array of a!save() where you can access the fv!processInfo which will contain the state of the process variables at the point that control was passed back to the calling interface. Note that if your process model is not chained beyond the point where the Ids of the inserted database objects are returned then you will not see their values returned.

Refer to https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/22.2/Start_Process_Smart_Service.html, specifically the 'onSuccess' information.

I am not sure this could answer my question: I am talking about a process launched from an interface (I know its not good, but application is here and needs maintenance).

Thanks! However I am not done yet... 🤔

Side question: how do I reference the output parameter? From what you say, here is what I understood I should do:

a!save(ri!contact, ri!contact)

(or with a little more imagination :

a!save(ri!contact, save!value.contact)

None seem to be working for me.

You will have to add at least one a!save to onSuccess to copy data to your rule input.
