You can draw multiple routes, from a single action to multiple tasks to split workflow in more than one branch. If no route is found, or all of the routes are invalid, the workflow is automatically terminated.

Instructions
If specified, replace the next task instructions with the provided instructions. This property is useful if you want to override the default task instruction. For example, a "Reject" action may change the next task instructions with the approved task.

Validation Rule

The same expression can also be written as a javascript expression, as follows:
