rgolangh opened a new issue, #3475:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-runtimes/issues/3475
### Description
There is no way to set a workflow status on end to a status different than
completed. While the workflow completed its steps we don't have a way to say
that the step results are unexpected and the workflow actually failed. From an
API point of view there's no way to tell if a workflow REALLY did the work it
supposed to do.
### Implementation ideas
after a discussion with @fjtirado we have formed this suggestion:
```yaml
states:
name: endWithError
metadata:
errorMessage: '.somekey'
end: true
```
The runtime will seek a metadata key `errorMessage` and if it is not empty
then it will set the status of the instance to failed
The advantage is that we don't add new keywords or change the spec, or add
custom actions or other workarounds, so this syntax is available ootb for every
workflow developer out there.
