Multiple setchild context

Planned

Currently we have to set the individual setchild context for each value which we have to pass in child flow. There should be a mechanism to pass more than one variable in child flow through one child context\activity.

  We can do this by a custom plug-in for now:

  import java.util.*;
  
  // edit it to specify the name of Call or Spawn action used in process flow
  String childName = "Call1";
  
  Map map = (Map) context.get(childName + ".childContext");
  if (map == null) {
      map = new HashMap();
  }
  // use this statement multiple times depending upon the number of variables to be set in child (sub-process) flow
  // if you need to set 4 parameters in child flow, use this statement 4 times (with different values of childVarName and parentVarName)
  // "childVarName" represent variable name in child flow, "parentVarName" represents variable name in parent flow whose value needs to be set in child flow
  // for example : map.put("PolicyNumber", context.get("PolicyNumber"));
  map.put("childVarName", context.get("parentVarName"));
  
  // setting context variables for child (sub-process) flow
  context.put(childName + ".childContext", map);
