Stop workflow without error on condition

As @JordanB mentioned in his post (https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Knowledge-Base/Stop-workflow-on-a-condition/tac-p/74403#M19...) - there's a common need to stop a worfklow when an condition is met.

However, at present there's no way to do this without generating an error.

 

Please can we either alter the message/test component to allow for error-free termination on a formula condition; or alternatively implement the fuller idea that Mark ( @MarqueeCrew) mentioned in his programmatic Detour idea?

We believe Control Containers will be an excellent solution to this idea! 😁

This would help us in numerous ways. Updating the message tool would be great to include an option to terminate without error.

Please tell me this has been implemented @KylieF Edit: I see it has, but I don't believe it is in the version we are using (2020.4).
