Foreach -parallel object - powershell

Question

Recently we started working on scripts that take a very long time to complete. So we dug into PowerShell workflows. After reading some documentation I understand the basics. However, I can't seem to find a way to create a [PSCustomObject] for each individual item within a foreach -parallel statement.
Some code to explain:
Workflow Test-Fruit {
foreach -parallel ($I in (0..1)) {
# Create a custom hashtable for this specific object
$Result = [Ordered]#{
Name = $I
Taste = 'Good'
Price = 'Cheap'
}
Parallel {
Sequence {
# Add a custom entry to the hashtable
$Result += #{'Color' = 'Green'}
}
Sequence {
# Add a custom entry to the hashtable
$Result += #{'Fruit' = 'Kiwi'}
}
}
# Generate a PSCustomObject to work with later on
[PSCustomObject]$Result
}
}
Test-Fruit
The part where it goes wrong is in adding a value to the $Result hashtable from within the Sequence block. Even when trying the following, it still fails:
$WORKFLOW:Result += #{'Fruit' = 'Kiwi'}

Answer 1

Okay here you go, tried and tested:
Workflow Test-Fruit {
foreach -parallel ($I in (0..1)) {
# Create a custom hashtable for this specific object
$WORKFLOW:Result = [Ordered]#{
Name = $I
Taste = 'Good'
Price = 'Cheap'
}
Parallel {
Sequence {
# Add a custom entry to the hashtable
$WORKFLOW:Result += #{'Color' = 'Green'}
}
Sequence {
# Add a custom entry to the hashtable
$WORKFLOW:Result += #{'Fruit' = 'Kiwi'}
}
}
# Generate a PSCustomObject to work with later on
[PSCustomObject]$WORKFLOW:Result
}
}
Test-Fruit
You're supposed to define it as $WORKFLOW:var and repeat that use throughout the workflow to access the scope.

Answer 2

You could assign $Result to the output of the Parallel block and add the other properties afterwards :
$Result = Parallel {
Sequence {
# Add a custom entry to the hashtable
[Ordered]#{'Color' = 'Green'}
}
Sequence {
# Add a custom entry to the hashtable
[Ordered] #{'Fruit' = 'Kiwi'}
}
}
# Generate a PSCustomObject to work with later on
$Result += [Ordered]#{
Name = $I
Taste = 'Good'
Price = 'Cheap'
}
# Generate a PSCustomObject to work with later on
[PSCustomObject]$Result
