    I don’t beleive that there is a way where you can manipulate with the pipeline statuses in Dashboard. When you have an error pipeline(as an error handler), the main pipeline always will have status as Completed. Actually, that is the purpose of the error handler, to helps in maintaining the normal execution flow and detecting the errors.

    As @marjan.karafiloski said, you can implement a custom logic where you can send an email(as a warning or alert, along with the records that failed) to specified group of people, categorize the errors based on some criteria etc.

    Hi,

    In that case, you can implement your own logic. For example, if error happens, change the error view in the snap to Route error data to error view, and then you can write the problematic documents to database, store in a file etc. and analyze them.

    Pipeline has the following statuses: stopped, failed and completed. Not sure if you can set custom state.
