 As you can see from the screens, I pass a document from the interface to a start process and I can see it in the process history, but for some reason it results empty in the &amp;quot;variables&amp;quot; tab. I don&amp;#39;t get why</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Can't pass a document via start process</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/151768?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 26 Sep 2025 09:12:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:9c4d892f-c1ce-4638-b3af-6652df9b0ce0</guid><dc:creator>anmolvijayvergiya</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you check have to check the &amp;quot;&lt;span&gt;Allow the value for the variable to be provided when starting a process&lt;/span&gt;&amp;quot; in your process model for the variable&lt;br /&gt;attaching a screenshot for your reference&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/14/pastedimage1758877891987v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Can't pass a document via start process</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/151765?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 26 Sep 2025 07:56:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:d67bde40-121e-4719-82e8-1211cc4ba6a3</guid><dc:creator>David Jimenez </dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Check input variables from interfaces...&lt;/p&gt;

I can see initially the cancel is blank ( in process history) but in variables it has value.
