Feature: force through by cancelling previous

I could see where this would be ideal in hung situations, but could also . have cascading effect if ill timed.

Would this essentially be implementing this feature but on the default branch? image

Great question. The key distinctions over 'auto cancel redundant workflows ' would be:

  • can be applied to specific jobs instead of entire workflow
  • allows the various parameters of branches, tag, or job names to consider
  • still waits configured delay before calling the cancel of previous workflows.

That said, I think the reason most people avoid the setting you shared would also be an issue with this feature. Cancelling the jobs already underway could leave assets in an invalid interim state causing downtime or manual intervention.
