I have a set of configurations as:
parent -- child1 -- child2 Parent is a sequential composition that is used to kick off the two child steps. I have variables defined in the parent, which are then overwritten by each of the children. My problem is that when I run the parent, the variables are not being overwritten by the child steps. Rather the value defined in the parent is being retained. Is this a known issue? Is it expected behavior? Or am I implementing my configuration variables incorrectly? Thanks |

| Changing my comment above... the parent isn't a composition, rather it is another configuration that is used to kick off the child configurations (each having their own set of variables, with inheritance of course). |

| The overritten variales will be take effect when running child configurations (for instance in its own steps), but not in the step defined in parent configuration to trigger child configurations. |
