There is nothing to indicate that a NWC component workflow failed after it's called from another workflow. The calling workflow will continue to run afterwards, even though some or all of the variables passed back are blank. This is better than the O365 workflows that wait forever for a suspended workflow, but not much. A simple boolean success variable would be all it would take to fix it. This is similar to the request that NWC workflow failures send a notification when they fail, but that couldn't be used in a workflow because it would happen after the component completes.
Thank you very much for posting your feedback for our review. At this time, we will not be adding this request to the near-term backlog, as low number of votes and we are focused on other highly requested features. However, we reevaluate requests every quarter and will reach out if priorities change. Please keep the feedback coming as it is critical for our longer-term planning.
