Add ability to Error Catch logic be added for Batch Flows in Designer Flows

In designer flows without a batch flow it is possible to add an Error Catch to the flow and within that error catch perform specific error handlng based on the information found in the Error Details object.  In flow with a batch flow included, the same Error Catch can be added but it only applies to errors that occur outside of the batch process.  

 

In many cases it is necessary to perform certain cleanup when an occurs within the batch flows as well as the non-batch parts of the flow.

 

My suggestion is to add a mechanism where either one error catch can be created to the enitre flow, both batch and non-batch, or to have seperated error catches that apply to each.

    Idea review. Thank you very much for taking the time to raise this suggestion Jeff, which we're moving into Future Consideration status. We understand and agree on the use case of better facilities for catching and handling errors that occur within a batch process, but when it comes to precise implementation choices we want to also express a note of caution. When making changes in this area, we will want to be careful not to impair the simplicity of the Designer Programming model and also take care to maintain the distinctions we have with the Toolkit programming model (where rollback logic is implemented between nodes, Fail terminals are available on each node, TryCatch nodes can be used to isolate catch branches for specific sections of message flows, or a subflow concept is also available). Looking forward to hearing design thoughts from the community on this suggestion.
