Throw Error Activity
If my pipeline orchestrates an asynchronous operation like processing an Azure Analysis Services model that the pattern is to start the operation asynchronously then loop and check the status. If the status is failed the REST API just says status=Failed but the REST API does not return an HTTP 500 status code so ADF does not fail. So I need a new Throw Error Activity component that will let me build an expression for the ErrorMessage property and throw an error message. Better yet there would be a property which does not throw an error if the property is set to false but does throw an error if the property is set to true.

Great minds think alike - I am doing exactly the same thing. I think I'll do a database call with RAISERROR. Nasty but I'm already working around the fact that you can't capture refreshId directly from the initial REST call. If we got raiserror capability in ADF and conditional workflow it would make all of my pipelines waaaay simpler.

Definitely need the error component to show the red pill ... my if condition fails but the activity success connector turns true and the next dependent activity gets executed .. completely agree with Mark said about how that activity should work .. just raise an error and show a red pill to notify .. Thanks

I need this too for an IF activity. I get how a specific activity could do this but your "better still" comment, not sure how this would be implemented because there are 4 possible scenarios.
The activity generated and error and do we throw or not throw.
The activity generated no error and do we throw or not throw..My 2c would say have an activity whose only job is to create an error output (the red pill :-) ). This can be placed anywhere but especially useful in an IF activity on either the true or false branch.
