Dynamic vs Switch Tasks

Dynamic Tasks are useful in situations when need to run a task of which the task type is determined at runtime instead of during the configuration. It is similar to the SWITCH use case but with DYNAMIC we won't need to preconfigure all case options in the workflow definition itself. Instead, we can mark the task as DYNAMIC and determine which underlying task does it run during the workflow execution itself.

• Use DYNAMIC task as a replacement for SWITCH if you have too many case options
• DYNAMIC task is an option when you want to programmatically determine the next task to run instead of using expressions
• DYNAMIC task simplifies the workflow execution UI view which will now only show the selected task
• SWITCH task visualization is helpful as a documentation - showing you all options that the workflow could have taken
• SWITCH task comes with a default task option which can be useful in some use cases
