The idea is: Global Retry On Fail Settings
As an admin I have workflows that contain hundreds of connected nodes. I want to set up retry handling but the only way to do this is one-by-one for every node and enable retry on fail, and set the options.
It would be far better for most use cases to have a Global or Workflow setting for all nodes that I could configure.
Workflow Settings
Retry Nodes On Fail
Off/On
Max Tries

Time Between Tries

I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
It would save me countless time configuring error handling and allow me to adjust all my nodes settings all at once. It would also promote more robust error free workflows as users would be more encouraged to use retry handling as it would be far easier to configure for a workflow.
Hi @JasonBroderick
You are requesting a global or workflow-level “Retry On Fail” setting.
Currently, you have to configure retry options for every node individually, which is extremely time-consuming for large workflows.
You propose adding a feature in the workflow settings to enable retries, set the maximum number of attempts, and define the interval between them for all nodes at once.
This would save significant time and encourage users to build more robust workflows by making error handling much easier to implement.
At least for each workflow but if possible a global Retry across all workflows with individual workflow retry settings overriding global and then individual node retry settings overriding workflow and global settings.
This would be very nice to have. Had an important workflow error out because Google was down for a second. One of my dozen google nodes in there did not have Retry set and it failed the entire thing. More global settings for Retry would be very nice.
