To configure a parent case to continue independently of its child cases, you need to adjust the Wait step settings in the parent case. By configuring the Wait step so that users can continue with the parent case process regardless of the child case status, the parent case does not need to wait for the child cases to reach a certain status or be resolved. This allows for parallel processing where the parent case progresses independently of the child cases.
Reference: Pega Academy - Wait Step: The Wait step in a case lifecycle is used to pause the processing of a case until a specific condition is met. Adjusting the wait condition allows the parent case to proceed independently of the child cases.
