Maybe the question is trivial, but for the moment i don't know how to fix that.

I have a parent process that in a Call Activity initiate an child sub-process, and I try to read variables from variableMap (<b>ctype</b>) in a <b>ScriptTask</b>:

    <scriptTask id="scripttask4" name="Script Task" scriptFormat="groovy" activiti:autoStoreVariables="true">
           <script>out:println "Ending main script with parameter: "+ctype</script>
    </scriptTask>
‍‍‍‍‍

Variable <b>ctype</b> was set

      variableMap.put("ctype", 2);
‍‍‍

Could you post your process definition?
Do you call activity
<br><callActivity id="callSubProcess" calledElement="checkCreditProcess" ><br>&nbsp; <extensionElements><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:in source="someVariableInMainProcess" target="nameOfVariableInSubProcess" /><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:smileysurprised:ut source="someVariableInSubProcss" target="nameOfVariableInMainProcess" /><br>&nbsp; </extensionElements><br></callActivity><br>
