Dynamic Detour Around

Is it possible to set the detour tool checkbox option (Detour to the Right) based on data in the flow with out building a macro?

 

Use case 1:
I have a complex workflow that other users need to run and change this setting accordingly. I don't want end users tampering with the actual workflow beyond changing the workflow user constants. In this scenario, the user would provide a value in a predefined user constant and I would use that to turn the check on or off in the workflow

 

Use case 2:
I have workflows that are driven by metadata. Based on the metadata that is passed in at the beginning of the flow, I would like to use the detour control to work around certain segments of code. This method would be used for more sophisticated workflows designed to run on our Alteryx server.

 

I know this can be done with a macro, but it seems a bit of an overkill to build a special Detour Around macro that I then have to ensure that all end users have access to.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.
