Selectively Rerun Workflow Tasks
planned
Logan Cook
When re-running a workflow, currently you only get the option of re-running the entire thing (and any sub-workflows individually). If you run a hefty workflow and find out you did not adequately prepare a prerequisite (such as org variables), it is sometimes detrimental to re-run the whole flow if it does not have checks for pre-existence of certain items.
A solution (that's not just changing how your flows are written) would be to allow selective re-running of tasks in the workflow.
The one thing I haven't quite figured out in my head is how to properly deal with context. In the situation I outlined above, you would technically want all context to persist besides the missing pre-requisite so that the workflow functions as intended with the new value.
IIRC, the current functionality of re-running does not allow that.
This may need to be paired with some sort of context editor before the confirmation of the re-run, but folks smarter than me can probably come up with a cleaner solution.

This is being planned as part of a larger effort for workflow editor updates planned for late 2024

I would really love this. I currently have large workflows that take time to gather information and it's a pain in the ass that I have to run these workflows from scratch when I just want to test a change I've made further down the chain. IT would be good if when you have your result "workflow" view that if you hover over a task if could give you an option to re-test from here so it keeps that the data it's gathered above it and just re-starts from that point

I have frequently thought this would be a cool thing and wished it were real
