Hello, I have a job with multiple tasks. I would like to configure it so that when the job is executed it runs all tasks unless it is a specific time rounded to the hour.

For example, when the job is run at 1 PM I would like it to run all tasks, but if it is run at 7 PM I would like it to start at task #2 and SKIP the first task. I tried doing this via a condition but have been unsuccessful. Here is my setup. Based on the documentation this configuration should skip the first task if TRUE (and yes, I changed value 2 to the current time to test) but it doesn't seem to affect anything. I also validated that the value 1 matches value 2

Thanks

{DATEFORMAT(htt)} return lower case: String equality is case sensitive by default.

I would use {DATEFORMAT(HH)} instead and check for the value 19

As an alternative to using a condition, you can use the Flow tab, see image
