DangerousDragonfly8 I'm pretty sure you can use pre_execute_callback or post_execute_callback for this. you get the PipelineController in the callback and the Node . Then you can modify the next step/node. Note that you might need to access the Task object directly to change the execution_queue and docker_args . You can get it from node.job.task https://clear.ml/docs/latest/docs/references/sdk/automation_controller_pipelinecontroller#add_function_step
