You need to set up the context variable in the child job and then use the tRunJob settings to assign the value. How to do this can be seen here....

In the situation above, a context variable called "File" within the child job is being assigned the value of the globalMap variable. If you simply want to pass the value of the context.File variable of your main job, you simply use ....

context.File

.....in the "Values" field.

Hello Rhall_2_0,
sorry for the delay of my answer and thank you for yours.
in fact, I would like to run the "job child 2" or the "job Child 3" depending on the value of a context value from the "Job Child 1". 
I don't know how to pass the value from this context to my "run If" trigger.

My main job job look like this :

My job Child look like this :

thank you.

You need set master job site context from child 1 job and then use it in run if.

Search for how to pass value from child to parent. There are many posts. Buffer components will help.
