How can I use the “transmit the whole context” box when I have parent job and child job

I have a parent job which calls a child job.

The child job reads a file, remove a column and save it in another file.

 

I want to use context to define the filepath for the input file and output file.

 

In the parent job, I defined the context and a check the box “transmit the whole context” - see picture 1 and 2

 

However in the child job, the contexts are not there as the table is empty (see picture 3)

Do I have to add the context again as a I did for the parent job? So what is the “transmit the whole context” box for?

I checked that box in the parent job but it seems useless.

Hi

Yes, you need to add the context variables again in child job and the variable name should be the same, when 'transmit the whole context' box is checked, the value of context variable will be passed from parent job to child job.
