Hi,
Can you make the execution of one step dependent on another? I have a parallel execution, and I want a step in one branch executed before the other.
Thanks,
Fraser

Hi Fraser,

You cannot make one step dependent on another. Would it be possible to change the workflow to make the parallel branches of the workflow merge at this step, and then split again after it?
The other option would be to perform some of the activities in a child job, and use job dependencies in order to enforce the correct order.

Hi All,
I obtained my desired behaviour by extending the functionality of the Create Child Jobs step.

Thx,
