When a parent workflow is terminated a child worklfow is also terminated provided parent and child workflows are in same namespace.
However child is not terminated when child is started in a different namespace other than parent.
Tried setting PARENT_CLOSE_POLICY_TERMINATE but still did not work. But I don’t think it doesn’t matter since that is the default close polcy.
Is this by design or a bug ?
Was able to reproduce this with Java SDK. Can start a child workflow in a different namespace, and ParentClosePolicy does not take effect, but it does if parent and child are in the same namespace. Checking with server team now to see if we need to raise an issue.
Opened ParentClosePolicy not working cross-namespace · Issue #2043 · temporalio/temporal · GitHub to track this.
Feel free to add any additional info you have found there.
Thank you. Added my findings in the issue which could be the bug.
