Fusion Watch Events module task filter on numberOfChildren

A helpful and efficient update that would help reduce the number of fusion scenario runs and modules needed after an Adobe Workfront Watch Event (instant) would be simply to include numberOfChildren as an Event Filter option for Task events webhook configuration.  

 

We are looking to drive automation once a task status changes but looking to limit the run on only actual tasks, not parent tasks.   We are able to work around but see double the number of runs necessary and need to add extra modules to read the task after the webhook.  

 

This would be similar to this idea where the option to filter by that field for task objects:  Fusion Watch module for a task canStart update | Community

Nice idea - wondering if parentID != null would also identify child tasks? This wouldn’t work if you are only looking for tasks with no children, but it might reduce the amount of operations in the meantime.

Or create a calculated field on a task form to provide the Number of Children and use that custom field in the Watch Event module
