ADF GREY Arrows for Skipped not working

HellO!! @nasreen-akter @MartinJaffer-MSFT

I have a Web Call which the pipeline has a GREY line to it (see attachment). I thought a Grey Line means Skipped and it would Skip that Web Activity. Am I wrong? It is being executed during a run.

Hi @ewinkiser,

That's odd. It should not run. @MartinJaffer-MSFT: do you have any insight why that happened?

I notice you have a few activities before the Web activity you want skipped.

The "Set UPDATE Ceridian Body_Copy1" is connected to the web activity by a skipped dependency. In the other direction, it depends upon something else via success dependency. I cannot tell what the other activity is, as it is cropped out of the image. Should that other activity fail or be skipped, then "Set UPDATE Ceridian Body_Copy1" will be skipped. When "Set UPDATE Ceridian BOdy_Copy1" is skipped, the web activity will run.

As the Web activity is the only activity in the picture for which a success/failure marker is shown (the red X), I must conclude all the other activities in the image have been skipped, and something earlier in the pipeline failed or otherwise prevented execution.
