Workflow Branch Join Activity Question

[Abhishek Pidwa]

Hi, 

I have a quick question for workflows with the use of Branch/Join. Basically, in our change request , if the risk value >=300 I want to fire an additional approval to IT communications team in parallel to creating build/test tasks. Both activities can be performed in parallel and once we get an approval and the tasks are closed, we can then move to Authorize state and go on from there.

But if the risk value <300 then I just want the build and test task to be fired alone. I am unsure of how I can achieve this without creating separate tasks again for Build and Test as shown in the workflow screenshot below:

Any pointers would be helpful.

Could you put another if statement checking the Risk Value after the Test task? If yes, flow to the Join activity. If no, move on to the Set Values activity?

Just guessing off the top of my head, here. Not sure if it would accomplish what you're looking for.

Ahhh interesting solution. I tried that and it works. Not sure if this is the best practice to handle such scenarios though but it is atleast better than creating a repetitive tasks for Build and test .
