If possible, it would be great if there was a ‘Success’ output port on Writers (I don’t mean FeatureWriters), so that you can use that to initiate subsequent processes.  I often need to control the order that processes need to run between different datasets.

I tried using FeatureWriters and FeatureReaders, using the ‘Summary’ and ‘Initiator’ ports, which works fine in Workbench, but there’s apparently a bug in Flow when outputting to an ArcGISFeatureService.

This use case was pretty much the reasoning behind the introduction of the FeatureWriter.

I suspect Safe will not add overlapping functionality to the “old” writers.
