Job Failure detection Override Suggestion

Hi, I would like to suggest to add job failure detection overrides in any deadline jobs.
Right now it is possible to override the failure mechanism by ignoring the task failure and job failure.

What I would like is the inverse, to make the job failure more prompt.
For example: After N number of task failure, the job will fail. This number would override the repository settings.

Why do I want this? we are doing more and more automation in Deadline. Building Softimage scenes, Nuke scripts, etc.
These type of can either succeed or fail. In the case of a failure I don’t want to job (task) to be requeued as it will fail again, and again and again until it reaches the max task failure setting of the repository.
And this can eat up a lot of resources time.

I hope my explanation makes sense.

Thanks

This makes sense, and we can definitely see how this would be useful. I’ve added this to the wishlist.

Cheers,
