You can also stop a task that is running in the linear taskflow. You might want to stop a task that is running in a linear taskflow if the task is running longer than expected. You can't stop a subtask that is running in a task.

If you stop the last task, the status of the linear taskflow job is Failed.

If you stop a task other than the last task in the linear taskflow, whether the linear taskflow job stops or continues depends on whether the Stop on Error property is enabled:

If Stop on Error is enabled, the linear taskflow job stops running. The status of the job is Failed.
If Stop on Error is not enabled, the linear taskflow job resumes with the next task in the flow. When the job completes, the status of the job is Warning because all of the tasks in the linear taskflow didn't complete.
