Field picker in batch workflow built inline doesn't show fields from parent process
I am building a process with using the batch over Excel action, and I have built out the steps inline. I'm setting a deadline for an email a web form task, and I'd like to be able to pick a date field that is created in the parent Workflow. However, nothing shows up in the field picker. Is this a bug or is this a feature?

@Tom_153935 Currently, inline workflows do not show fields in the field picker from their parent workflows. That's a known gap that we'll be addressing in an upcoming release.
The parent workflow field values do flow down to the inline workflow, though, so can reference them by typing in
{{field-name}}. A workaround in your specific case would be to use the action Fields: Set the value of a date field to the date value.We know it's tricky to reference fields manually and are working to close that gap.

Thanks for the reply. I'm glad this has already been identified as a gap.
