Start the subprocess parallel with values from paraent workflow

After the service task create a multi-instance call activity to start the subprocesses in parallel as per the below model. lets say your result list variable is subProcessList=[“PI”,“DV”,“SI”,“PA”] and assign a element variable as subProcesskey to loop through the list elements and it will be assigned to the calledElement attribute of call activity.
