Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's not possible to know whether or not the current task is from a reset. It would be much simpler to build a logic in workflow to fail on certain case (to stop all the activities), then I will reset it later to resume.

Describe the solution you'd like

Expose a boolean flag in WorkflowContext to indicate whether the current workflow task is from a reset?(basically if the previous task is workflow task failed with reason of Reset)

Research direction

Start by locating WorkflowContext and the workflow-task reset handling, then trace how a task records that its previous workflow task failed because of a reset. Define and expose the boolean for tasks resumed from a reset, and verify it across reset and non-reset workflow-task scenarios.
