Adjust parallel activity in workflow so it allows workflow to split into two separate and distinct paths
It would be helpful to have a workflow activity that splits the workflow into two branches. For example branch A could have its own activities, user assignments, notifications, etc. and then branch B could have its own activities. Once all activities in both branches were complete the paths would merge and the workflow would resume in a serial manner.

There has to be a better way than separate workflows. Parallel tasks should simply be a box that then allows you to branch to other tasks. This is the way it works in another software that we use. I have been trying all different methods and none of them work. If you do use parallel tasks and set up multiple decisions for the same user then you are only allowed to complete one task at a time. That is not a parallel workflow. The user should have a list of tasks for a workflow and be able to complete as many as they like at the same time. The rest remain until they are completed.

Workflow designer doesn't allow to design differents parallels tasks.
Ex : a form can be sent to the IT service for a specific task AND to the HR service for another task.
The only workaround is to create two differents workflows, so variables cannot be shared.
