[Anthill-pro] Question about job failure within workflows

[Jeff Rodgers (jerodger)]

So, why wouldn't the continuation condition for the first step in a job
be used for whether the job will execute? Otherwise, the continuation
condition of the first step is useless.

Chad,

There are arguments for continueing anyway. Taking a deeper look, we
agree that the default behavior should be to stop the workflow. This has
been filed as a critical issue for 3.2. Hopefully we'll present
continuation conditions for jobs like we do steps, but we'll at least
have the stop if the last job failed in there.
