I don’t have a lot of experience in using split merge blocks within an automation and I’m unsure whether this is the expected outcome

Expected behaviour (my view)

Workspace 1 triggers workspace 2 a number of times via an automations writer. Workspace 3 doesn’t start until all workspaces within the split merge block have successfully completed

Observed behaviour

Workspace 1 fails and triggers workspace 3

Does the failure port of workspace 1 need to be connected to the failure port of the split merge block to prevent this? Should a failure within the split merge block lead to a feature appearing from the success port of the split/merge block?

      Answering my own question, the failure ports need to be connected up if you want a workspace failure to result in nothing exiting the success port
