Correct the Status of a Cancelled Flow

When you submit a flow, the status of the flow changes to ‘In Progress’. Subsequently when you cancel a flow task, the cancel action changes the flow task status to either Completed with Alerts or Critical Alerts depending on whether the task was partially completed, or the job didn't produce any results.

Sometimes the Cancel action doesn’t cancel the flow task and the flow continues to be in the ‘In Progress’ status. The flow doesn’t progress and doesn’t allow you to take any action.

In such a scenario, if you are a task owner, you can manually recover the correct status of the flow in the checklist page. You are shown a warning message to manually update the correct status of the task. The status of the task then changes to either Completed with Alerts or Critical Alerts depending on the task results. You can then change the flow to Mark for Retry or Roll Back.

If you don't manually update the canceled task, the task status remains as In Progress even though the flow has been canceled.

Manually recover a flow that is in 'In Progress' state and doesn't progress further.
