Variable Inheritance Is Not Working For Agent Action 'For Each' (Doc ID 1267394.1)

Symptoms

An agent assigns a variable and then uses the "FOR EACH" to raise a second agent. The variable assigned in the first agent is attempted to be used, but is found to be undefined from the second agent.

The documentation of the FOR EACH agent action says that it should generate a child event for each result of the saved query creating a relationship parent/child where the variables of the parent are visible and accessible by the child.

1. Navigate to Shipment Management -> Shipment Management -> Buy Shipment
2. Search for Shipment
3. Edit the shipment and change the Shipment Name (e..g add a character)
4. Click Finished

The modification to the Shipment triggers the shipment agent. This will set the variable to the Shipment_Gid and trigger the second agent. This variable is then attempted to be used, but is undefined and results in:

It is expected that the variable maintains the assigned value for the downline agent
