I have a subprocess within a parent process. Once I select the Input Variables

I have a subprocess within a parent process. Once I select the Input Variables on the subprocess and save the node then go back to modify the subprocess node each of the Input Variables have "From form" as the variable and it can't be changed. Does anyone know why the node is doing this? We are on 7.5. If I delete the node and recreate I can change the variables, but once saved it goes back to the same format. I have included a screenshot.

Delete the start form from your sub-process's Process Model. I'm guessing it got recreated when someone modified a process variable.

All Start Forms have been deleted with the same result.

What is the "assignment" of the subprocess set to? Make sure it's not set to "assigned to a person" but rather set to one of the "automated activity" settings.

If I set it to one of the automated activity I can't use the When executing more than once options

I don't think it's an option for you. Only after I replied did I notice your use case here: forum.appian.com/.../e-126599

I believe you're doing the user assignment in the wrong place by putting it on the subprocess call. As far as I know, you should probably be passing the assignee value into the subprocess as a parameter, such that a new subprocess is launched for each assignee. Then inside the subprocess, you can handle multiple task assignment as-needed on the task itself.

Thank you so much, that fixed both of my problems. I assigned to the assignee that was passed from the parent process so it creates multiple tasks and forwards to all users.
