Allow an option for a conditional activity

Currently we only have the option to link a conditional process. Could there be a toggle which allows you to choose a conditional activity OR a conditional process ? (like the decision box offers)
Sometimes we have to turn a single activity into a published process just to get a conditional link.

    Thank you very much for posting your feedback. At this time, we will not be adding this request to the near-term backlog, as we are focused on improving our search and process variation capabilities and delivering sequential approvals. However, we reevaluate requests every quarter and will reach out if priorities change. Please keep the feedback coming as it is critical for our longer-term planning.

    I am so glad someone else has suggested this, as being able to add Conditional Activities would be so useful!

    Thanks for the suggestion. Currently any conditional steps could be captured in a note but I see the advantage of having these displayed on the process map.

    I'll open this up for voting to gather interest from other clients.

    Running into the same issue, where my condition/s are a little more than a note, but not a whole other process. More often than not, these exceptions are handled and go straight back into the same line. An example of this is an expense claim that is over a certain amount and for a particular department. This may require additional approval and or process due to the $$ size, but once this is done, the process carries on as per normal.

    This request should be given higher priority because we are facing more instances where a conditional Activity is more appropriate than a conditional process, and a note does not work because there are key tasks that need to be prominent and the role/s need to be assigned correctly to those tasks.

    Totally agree, this would be excellent. The workarounds don't work... a note isn't visible enough in map view, and creating a separate process just for one activity is (sorry) just dumb. Thanks!

    I support this improvement. The current work-arounds of "note" or "parallel activity" do not accurately reflect the intention of a conditional activity. There are many examples where a conditional process is adding unnecessary complexity to a process, such as with an infrequent inspection etc. where the activity doesn't warrant their own sub-process. Please add this :)

    Can this please be updated and added to the roadmap? Even just allowing a checkbox on the activity so that it maybe gets 'flagged' on the process map view would be a huge improvement than burying the conditional details in a Note
