workflow_call github context is not updated.

[jhautin]

Describe the bug

I use a main workflow that is calculating a value. this value is given as input of a sub workflow.

The issue is that the value is not part of the context. i have the original github context from the main workflow not the context with the new input.

Moreover, the event type is not a workflow_call but a workflow_dispatch.

main workflow : https://github.com/vectice/github-actions-issue/blob/main/.github/workflows/main_workflow.yml
sub workflow : https://github.com/vectice/github-actions-issue/blob/main/.github/workflows/sub_workflow.yml

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to public repository https://github.com/vectice/github-actions-issue
2. Run the main_workflow (https://github.com/vectice/github-actions-issue/actions/workflows/main_workflow.yml)
3. See context in display_context job of the sub workflow. the context is not the good one.

Expected behavior
I would expect a github context with:

• github event type set to workflow_call
• github inputs set to values in the with keyword (ie github.event.inputs.something not empty)

What's not working?

the context of the called sub-workflow contains the following values:

{
"workflow": "Main workflow",                                 <<< should be sub workflow
  "event_name": "workflow_dispatch",                    <<< should be workflow_call
  "event": {
    "inputs": {
      "call-sub-workflow": "true"                               <<< should be "something": "a_sample_value"
    }
  },
  "workflow": ".github/workflows/main_workflow.yml"    <<< should be .github/workflows/sub_workflow.yml

}

Job Log Output

If applicable, include the relevant part of the job / step log output here. All sensitive information should already be masked out, but please double-check before pasting here.

Runner and Worker's Diagnostic Logs

If applicable, add relevant diagnostic log information. Logs are located in the runner's _diag folder. The runner logs are prefixed with Runner_ and the worker logs are prefixed with Worker_. Each job run correlates to a worker log. All sensitive information should already be masked out, but please double-check before pasting here.

base on https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/reusing-workflows

When a reusable workflow is triggered by a caller workflow, the github context is always associated with the caller workflow. The called workflow is automatically granted access to github.token and secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN. For more information about the github context, see "Context and expression syntax for GitHub Actions."

You can ask on https://github.community/c/code-to-cloud/github-actions/41 if you need more help.
The runner itself has no control over this part.
