Is a task aware of it's position in the workflow?
This is better suited to a discussion but is related to #21 and delaying a workflow that I hope to help implement. I note there does not seem to be a way to determine at what position a task is in the workflow e.g. If a workflow has 6 tasks, is it possible to know during a run of the workflow which particular task is in progress?
My logic is that if we implement a 'delay' task and know the position in a workflow, it could be a simple case of 'pausing' at that task, and when it resumes, we simply restart the workflow from that position.
At the moment, unless I am wrong, the workflow simply runs all tasks in the order in which they are added. This, again if I'm not mistaken, does not allow for re-ordering of tasks as they are run by add date, not their order on the builder.
Hey, they are linked through the parentable_id and parentable_type in the Task.php it the function pastExecute() in which is handled to wrap up the current Task and start executing the next Task.
