Add Preconditions to ArcGIS Data Pipelines

It would be valuable if ArcGIS Data Pipelines supported preconditions, similar to ModelBuilder in ArcGIS Pro.

Preconditions would allow a tool to execute only after another tool has completed successfully or when a required condition has been met. This would provide better control over pipeline execution, simplify complex workflows, and reduce the need for workarounds when coordinating dependent processing steps.

Not a user with model builder myself, but this is a great idea and is an industry standard for data transformation tools generally. A good example is the "run after" in Power Automate.

Hi @CarterHughes,

Thanks! Yes, exactly. The idea is to provide a way to define dependencies between tools so that a step only runs after a previous step has completed successfully. This would make it much easier to build and manage more complex Data Pipelines.
