Error description
When the flow of a running business process definition (BPD) instance exits a linked process and the linked process activity is located in a subprocess, the process instance name and the process due date from the linked process remain unchanged; both the instance name and due date are not set back to the instance name and due date defined in the nearest enclosing top-level process.

Local fix
Problem summary
Whenever an activity of a BPD runs, the name and the due date of the BPD instance is recalculated according to the name and due date definition specified in the top-level process. When a linked process runs as part of the BPD, the instance name and due date are recalculated according to the definition as specified in the linked process. However, when the linked process activity is located in a subprocess, the execution of the linked process completes and the running flow returns into the embedded process context, the instance name and the due date are not recalculated according to the top-level process but remain as calculated in the linked process.
Problem conclusion
A fix will be available in IBM BPM V8.5.7 cumulative fix 2017.06 that updates the process instance name and the process due date when the execution flow exits a linked process that is located in a subprocess.
