Terminates the current workflow instance, with a resulting status of “Terminated.” Associated tasks are unaffected; that is, terminating a workflow instance does not change the status of the tasks that it created.
Note: Workflow instances listed in the Completed Workflows section of the Workflows page cannot be terminated.
Unlike the action Terminate Workflow Instances, this action manages only a single instance of the current workflow as part of the workflow process.
You can use this action to terminate an instance of the current workflow if a certain condition exists. For example, in a workflow that includes a branch for processing payment, if payment is not received within a particular time period, then you may want to terminate the workflow as the remaining actions become irrelevant.
