Passing values back to a calling flow using the Return card in Okta Workflows requires that field names and attribute types match. When the calling flow output fields and the Return card input fields match exactly in name and type, the values pass successfully.

How are values passed back to a calling flow using the Return card?

Match the output fields in the parent flow to the input fields in the helper flow to pass values successfully.

1. Open the parent flow and locate the Call Flow card.
2. Open the helper flow and locate the Return card.
3. Configure the input fields on the Return card to match the output fields on the Call Flow card exactly in name (case-sensitive) and attribute type (text, number, object, and so on).

Review the following execution examples that demonstrate a parent flow using a Call Flow card to communicate with a helper flow, illustrating how the outputs match the name and type of the inputs on the helper Return card with yellow highlights.
