Multi-Select to Retry

The idea is:

Currently, retrying failed executions has to be done manually, one by one, either through the workflow execution interface or via the three-dot menu in the general executions interface. The idea is to introduce a multi-select feature that allows users to retry multiple failed executions at once.

My use case:

When managing workflows with multiple executions, it is common to have several failures that need to be retried. Manually retrying each one individually can be time-consuming, especially when dealing with a large number of executions. A bulk retry option would streamline this process significantly.

I think it would be beneficial to add this because:

  • It would improve efficiency by reducing the time and effort required to retry failed executions.
  • Users would have a more convenient and seamless experience when handling workflow execution failures.
  • It aligns with the existing bulk actions available in other parts of the interface.

Any resources to support this?

If needed for inspiration, I have attached a manipulated screenshot illustrating how this feature could be implemented.

Are you willing to work on this?

I am happy to contribute ideas and feedback but would rely on the development team to implement this feature.

This is a great idea and would be a huge help. Right now, I have to click twice for every retry, which adds up when I wake up to a workflow that errored all night. After fixing it, I have to manually select and retry each execution.

Instead, we could implement a ‘select and retry all’ feature once I confirm the workflow is fixed with a few manual retries. Also, having a safety logic option to stops retries if 10% of them fail again would be huge help!.

And ofc, have the option to choose from beginning or from node with error..
