no… like a poison pill of sorts? when it kicks off, it automatically fails?

@Felix Ruess, could you let us know your use case with regard to terminating a task in a workflow?

02/22/2023, 8:49 AMMy colleague asked if he could do that. He noticed that he made an error in one of his configs, which affected that task and he wanted to stop it, fix the config and relaunch the task.
But without stopping the other long running tasks in the workflow that were already started.

I'm afraid that isn't possible. How about you checkpoint data during task execution?

@Eduardo Apolinario (eapolinario), what do you think of allowing users to terminate a task within a workflow?
