      Workflow recommends changing the definition for the 'failed' status to the following:

      "The task was attempted but not successful.  No further activity will occur."

      We agree with adding the second sentence to clarify that it is a terminal state.  We suggest removing any list of reasons for failure because any sort of "non-success" counts as failure.

      if a Task is completed because the task could not be fulfilled then using "failed"  + reason seems reasonable but the defintion of 'failed' implies it is not complete.

       

      propose changing to reword the definition so that it doesn't always imply it was not completed.

      The task was attempted but not successful because it was not possible or due to some error.  No further activity will occur.
