Hi!
Welcome to the user forum!

The ProcessInstanceID is assigned by the engine, so you can’t use a variable in it. However, you could use a variable to hold a “Business Key” which would be your outside reference to that process instance. Look around the forum, and you’ll find a bunch of information on it.
