Bypass work item execution

[Former Member]

Hi,

i want to bypass work item execution if certain condition does not meet. I will have a Create Work item condition and if this doesn't meet i want to move to next item. Is it possible. please advise.

Thank you

Hi, Sudhanshu,

I think it should be possible with 'Complete Work Item' condition:

Hello Egor, i don't want to complete it actually. If certain condition doesn't meet i just want to skip to next work item.

Sudhanshu, then you can create a condition block and put your step on the 'positive' branch (the one that is taken when the condition is true)

Hello Egor,

yes, thats the option im using already. Since number of condition are more, i just thought if i could avoid conditions if there is any way to jump to succeeding work item.

Thank you

Egors answer is excellent, as the workflow-runtime does skip the execution, when the condition "complete workitem" is met upon creation. It is just logged as being completed in the workflow protocol. I've used it in the past and its a very nice feature.
