Conditional Control Flow element

Hi:

A branching element is critical to any process flow. Currently, as far as I know, there;s only a Conditional Split Data Flow Element. There is no direct way I can branch out in a control flow.

In some cases, I could branch by using a conditional operator ?: to either create a dynamic sql string for each patch, or a package name for a Package Execution task and so on.

This approach is not always good enough.

Are there others out there who want a Conditional Control Flow element?

TIA

Can't you use the normal constraints & change from "Constraint" to "Expression & Constraint" in the constraint properties, and then using variables for your branching, put your expression in the constraint? I've done this before to branch out the control flow.|||

No, because expression-based constraints already exist in the control flow, which allow for what you desire.
