And when a 2nd OR Gateway is used to merge the paths, the OR gateway explicitly requires that all paths that were activated must be completed prior to continuing in the process.The behavior allows for implementing process flows where 0 to many paths may be taken and then whichever ones were taken for each process instance, they must all be completed before the process continues.
Appian adheres to the BPMN 2.0 standard for the OR Gateway split, but for the OR Gateway merge, it is not adhering to the standard and waiting for the all the instances to complete.
