 Can anyone please let me know if we can pass &amp;#39;process variable&amp;#39; as pass by reference from main to sub Process model. 
 And if yes, who can we do that? 
 And is there any disadvantage of doing so ( i.e. passing a proves variable as reference</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Process Variable</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/57765?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jul 2018 10:21:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:d360552e-8a70-4a5e-b57d-d5acf0e819dd</guid><dc:creator>Preji P</dc:creator><description>Thanks Aswini,&lt;br /&gt;
I understand that by passing PV as reference we are overcoming the challenge of time lag which is definitely an advantage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But here am try to under the limitation (in the above link am not able to properly understand the limitation, would it be possible for you to simply the limitations for me here ?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Process Variable</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/57753?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jul 2018 07:20:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:0afa600d-cb73-43ee-b52b-5c7dc4c5ffe4</guid><dc:creator>Aswini </dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="internal-link view-user-profile" href="/members/prejip"&gt;Preji&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;To avoid this lag in synchronization we have to use a reference. By passing a reference to the actual parent process variable instead of its value, the data remains synchronized at all times. Any changes made to the process variable in the parent process immediately update all referenced sub-process parameter values. Similarly, changes to the referenced value in the sub-process are concurrently reflected in the parent.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Once go through this link&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/18.2/Sub-Process_Activity.html#passing-a-process-variable-as-a-reference"&gt;docs.appian.com/.../Sub-Process_Activity.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope this helpful&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Regards&lt;br /&gt;Aswini&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Process Variable</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/57752?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jul 2018 07:11:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:bbe643fa-4d15-4979-b461-0bb63782902a</guid><dc:creator>Abhay Giri</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Preji,&lt;/p&gt;
