Subflow Input is not accepting Catalog Variables of Type Reference - Known Error

Subflow Input is not accepting Catalog Variables of Type Reference Description Calling a Subflow from a Workflow 'Run Script' Activity is failing to pass the Catalog Variables of type 'Reference' to the Subflow when using the FlowAPI and 'Code snippet' provided inside Flow Designer.

Steps to Reproduce

Create Catalog Item 2. Create Variable for Catalog Item. Variable Type = Reference. Reference Table = [sys_user] 3. Create Subflow 4. Create Subflow 'Input' for type 'Reference.[sys_user]' 5. Set a Log action in Subflow to log the [sys_user] Input 'Name' 6. Save and publish the Subflow 7. Copy the 'Code snippet' of the Subflow 8. Navigate to Workflow Editor 9. Create Workfow on [sc_req_item] Table 10. Add 'Run Script' Activity and paste the 'Code snippet' from Flow Designer into the Run Script 11. Set the input['variable_name'] from the Code snippet = current.variables.variable_name (Subflow Input = Catalog Reference Variable) 12. Save and Publish Workflow 13. Order Catalog Item and see that the Subflow does not retrieve the Input Workaround This is expected behavior and by design in all currently supported releases.
