enhancement Option to 'Continue On Error' on workflow nodes

[Martyn Houghton]

Relation to out other posts about the Update Requests > Service and Data Provider/Query facilities, can we request the node is updated to have the option to 'Continue On Error' option, as at the moment if the values provided are invalid the workflow breaks.

We have built in error handling to the workflow to deal with the 'outcome' of the node failing as without the Data Provider/Query capability to restrict the selection to valid combinations we know it will occurr sometimes, but this is not triggered as the node fails and breaks the workflow. Having the option to continue on error and handle it in the workflow will make the Update Requests > Service safe to use.

Is there any update on this, as not being able to use error handling is a major restriction on the safe use of this capability?

If there's no update on this thread, and nothing under Admin -> Hornbill Solution Center -> Roadmap Library then there's no update to share, I'm afraid.

Thanks for the response. Are you aware of anyone who is using this node successfully in a production environment using variables for Service and Catalog Name, rather than hardcoding it in the BPM?

@Martyn HoughtonWe made a workaround by creating a simpleList that contained the Service Names and Id's and then using that as a picker in the intelligent capture and finally using the input from that field to populate the BPM.
Clumsy, yes, but at least it works.
Now we'd need the same setup for languages and timezones but preferrably those would be accessed directly from the BPM rather than through this kind of workaround

Thanks for advising on your usage. We trying to get down to the Catalog level so working on how we can use a single simple list to populate both the numeric Service ID and the textual Catalog Name in full.
