Flow Switch

Flow Switch

Certified

Route to task groups based on a value.

Renders value and matches it against cases keys; executes the corresponding task list or defaults if no match. Supports errors and finally blocks.

Useful for branching on categorical inputs without nesting multiple Ifs.

Properties

The value to be evaluated

Assets this task consumes as inputs or produces as outputs, for lineage tracking and the asset graph (Enterprise Edition). A flow declaring this property on a task is rejected in the open-source edition.

Asset failure behavior

Behavior applied to the task state when a declared asset fails to render, emit, or be persisted (e.g. a lock conflict): FAIL escalates it to FAILED, WARN (default) warns it if it would otherwise succeed, IGNORE leaves the state untouched.

enableAutobooleanstring

Whether to auto-register assets referenced dynamically at runtime that are not statically declared in inputs or outputs.
