There are anyways to use WaitForExternalEvent in sub-orchestration?

Question

I want to use WaitForExternalEvent in sub-orchestration. But it seems the same sub-orchestration can't be run twice. Main orchestration:

[FunctionName(FunctionNameConstants.ScenarioOrchestrator)]
public async Task<string> ScenarioOrchestrator(
    [OrchestrationTrigger] IDurableOrchestrationContext context, ILogger log)
{
    OnboardingAlwaysOnRequest onboardingProfile = context.GetInput<OnboardingAlwaysOnRequest>();

    await context.CallSubOrchestratorAsync<string>(FunctionNameConstants.ExternalApproval, onboardingProfile);

    // returns ["Hello Tokyo!", "Hello Seattle!", "Hello London!"]
    return "completed";
}

sub-orchestration:

[FunctionName(FunctionNameConstants.ExternalApproval)]
public async Task ExternalApprovalAsync(
    [OrchestrationTrigger] IDurableOrchestrationContext context,
    ILogger log)
{
    OnboardingAlwaysOnRequest profile = context.GetInput<OnboardingAlwaysOnRequest>();

    log.LogInformation($"Wait {profile.ProductProfile.Name} score card approval");
    DateTime expireTime = context.CurrentUtcDateTime.AddDays(1);
    using var timeoutCts = new CancellationTokenSource();
    Task durableTimeout = context.CreateTimer(expireTime, timeoutCts.Token);
    Task approved = context.WaitForExternalEvent<bool>(FunctionNameConstants.ScopeCardApproval);

    if (approved == await Task.WhenAny(approved, durableTimeout))
    {
        timeoutCts.Cancel();
        log.LogInformation($"{profile.ProductProfile.Name} score card approval succeed!");
    }
    else
    {
        log.LogInformation($"{profile.ProductProfile.Name} score card approval timeout!");
    }
}

Can use WaitForExternalEvent in sub-orchestration.

Answer 1

I should use the instance id of sub-orchestration rather than parent's for http trigger ExternalApproval.
