Please add ability to configure job steps to continue on failure or cease job execution (similar to SQL job step functionality).
Scenario: We have a singular report containing data. The report needs to be filtered to data specific to a geographical area for security purposes.
Job Steps: 1.) Run report with filter applied. 2.) Export to PDF. 3.) E-mail PDF to recipients. 4.) Run report with filter applied. 5.) Export to PDF. 6.) E-mail PDF to recipients.
If the job failed on step 3, we want it to continue to step 4. Otherwise, no other recipients will receive their data.
Without the functionality, we are having to create 60+ standalone jobs so as not to impact users if a failure occurs.

Future Consideration
This can now be solved, from 14.4.0 and forward using the ForEach task, that supports continue on next iteration.

There are also other a new Execute Script task that can be used for this.
