More flexibility is needed for decision points:
- Ability to loop back to previous activity in current process
- Ability to loop forward to a later activity in current process
- Ability to continue with two parallel sets of activities in the process
- Ability to have different outputs at the end of two parallel sets of activities in the process
Also decisions need to be shown in a better way in the written procedure. I Propose to use two columns, one for "yes" and one for "no" to clearly show what a applies for each case.
This request kind of summarizes a few other similar requests:

However, I am submitting this combined suggestion / request, so that it is easier to capture the votes related to improvement of the decision functionality. Also some of the linked requests above have been closed for voting, but are still highly relevant. Therefore this combined request.
I think decision points need to be looked at. Whilst I understand why it is not encouraged, this is not a BPMN process, there are times when it comes in handy and where it would make better sense for the users.
Linking back to a particular step in the process is one; or there might be two activities after a decision, not enough to warrant a whole separate process.
