workflow_run triggered only on success

Question

Body

name: Workflow B

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  workflow_run:
    workflows: ["Workflow A"]
    types:
      - completed

That triggers "Workflow B" regardless of the result of "Workflow A". That would be REALLY great to have "types: success".
With the current approach I not only end up with a tons of skipped runs in the UI, but also have to do some gimmicks, like:

jobs:
  Run-Workflow-B:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: ${{ github.event.workflow_run.conclusion == 'success' || github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' }}

Could we please finally have:

on:
  workflow_run:
    workflows: ["Workflow A"]
    types:
      - success

Thank you for joining the discussion! You're right, employing the if condition to filter for successful runs or manual triggers (workflow_dispatch) is a popular workaround in GitHub Actions. Although this method is effective, it can indeed become quite cumbersome. I believe this feature request might already be on our radar, but I'll pass this along to my amazing colleagues who specialize in GitHub Actions for further insights. Stay tuned!

Thanks for passing this on. Any updates on this, after a year? :) Or is there an issue or PR to track the progress of this request somewhere?
