Usually, orchestrations are only to be invoked by a durable client, but in dotnet users have the ability to start orchestrations within another orchestrations.
The dotnet API for this is here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.azure.webjobs.extensions.durabletask.idurableorchestrationcontext.startneworchestration?view=azure-dotnet#microsoft-azure-webjobs-extensions-durabletask-idurableorchestrationcontext-startneworchestration(system-string-system-object-system-string)
We should implement similar functionality
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Python orchestration context API and the related issue #328, then compare its capabilities with the linked .NET StartNewOrchestration API. Done means defining and implementing equivalent behavior for starting an orchestration from another orchestration, with the supported arguments and expected behavior established by that comparison.
