The other day I came across one situation, where I’d used Pick activity with 4 Pick branch in my workflow.
Those 4 conditions are expected, that’s why i’d used Pick branch using those 4 triggers, After executing it several times, i’d realized that, it is giving exception if there’s any 5th scenario, which is completely fine.
To handle this any can use their own logic Or error handling.
So on this I have one suggestion, is that… what if Pick activity comes with one Default branch, like we’ve default case in switch activity, then this wouldn’t be a problem anymore.
Thanks for considering this idea. Even I have the same requirement.
But In addition to what @samir said, we should add Default Action instead of Branch. We do not need trigger in the default case except Action what needs to be done. When the exception is thrown, handle it in the default action and continue with the rest of the workflow.
Hi @Pablito there is one more issue in pick branch activity. If I have added multiple branch and all the trigger condition false still pick branch activity performing the action of left most branch. It seems like pick branch activity by default picking left most branch if all the branch condition is false. If this is the case then there should be a default branch in pick branch activity.
Currently the way you would do that is to add Delay in place of trigger for your “default” branch with as long delay as timeout for other triggers.
In case no other trigger fires then branch with delay will execute.
This is very simple way of creating requested behavior.
