Nested workflows lose outer surveys/extra vars

ISSUE TYPE

Bug Report

SUMMARY

In AWX I can create a workflow template containing another workflow template, which in turn contains a job template. I can set surveys and extra-vars on the inner workflow template and they will be available to the playbook that runs from the job template. However, if I set surveys or extra-vars on the outer workflow template, they are not passed on to the playbook.

ENVIRONMENT

AWX version: 9.1.1
AWX install method: openshift
Ansible version: 2.9.4
Operating System: Ubuntu Linux
Web Browser: Chromium

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Create a playbook:
name: Debug hosts: localhost gather_facts: no tasks:
- debug: msg: "xxx is {{ xxx }}" ignore_errors: true
- debug: msg: "yyy is {{ yyy }}" ignore_errors: true
- debug: msg: "zzz is {{ zzz }}" ignore_errors: true
Create a job template that runs that playbook, and set an extra-variable:
```
xxx: "job template extra var"
```
Create a workflow template (call it "inner") which runs the job template above. In this workflow template set two extra variables:
```
xxx: "inner extra vars"
yyy: "inner extra vars"
```
Create another workflow template (call it "outer") which runs the workflow template above. In this workflow template set three extra variables:
```
xxx: "outer extra vars"
yyy: "outer extra vars"
zzz: "outer extra vars"
```
Run the "outer" workflow template.

EXPECTED RESULTS

The playbook runs, printing

xxx is outer extra vars
yyy is outer extra vars
zzz is outer extra vars

ACTUAL RESULTS

The playbook runs, and prints

xxx is inner extra vars
yyy is inner extra vars
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'zzz' is undefined [...]
