You can specify the variables to be passed to the child workflow in this property window. To open this window, select Variables for ChildWorkflow property.
The following image shows the Variables for ChildWorkflow property dialog box:

The window has a grid that lists the parent workflow variables that can be passed to the child workflow. It has the following columns – Variables, Type, and Choose. Select the Choose check box to select the variable. Select Update to set the selected variables to be passed.
Note: You can create a local variable (that is, variables prefixed with '@', for example, @EmpId) which can be passed to the child workflow. For the child workflow to get this variable value, it should have a variable with the same name but without the '@'. For example, if a parent workflow has a local variable '@EmpId', then the child workflow should have a variable 'EmpId' to get its value.
