    • Priority: L3 - Default
    • None
    • Affects Version/s: None
    • Component/s: rpa
    • None

      Environment (Required on creation):

      • RPA Bridge 1.1.0

      Description (Required on creation; please attach any relevant screenshots, stacktraces, log files, etc. to the ticket):

      Steps to reproduce (Required on creation):

      1. Deploy a process with an RPA task that cannot be completed (e.g. because a subsequent expression fails)
      2. Let the RPA bridge complete the task

      Observed Behavior (Required on creation):

      • The completion fails (expected)
      • The problem is logged (expected)
      • The RPA bridge indefinitely tries again (not expected)

      Expected behavior (Required on creation):

      • The RPA bridge escalates to the /failure endpoint
      • If that fails as well, there is another escalation strategy (e.g. backoff or stopping with the requests)

      Root Cause (Required on prioritization):

      • The RPA bridge just retries when API completion leads to failures
