If we use the Workflow for use cases like Infrastructure provisioning , Environment Data sync and many other such use cases. We will need the ability to call the Workflow from the Release Template
Just like with Create Release we need
1. Under Core in Release Tasks, We need a Create Workflow task
2. We will need a Wait for completion on Workflows in a Gate task.
The Workflow can be independent executions and should be able to reused from a Release Template to ensure that created automated flows can be reused and NOR duplicated in multiple places.
I think this is definitely a gap and should have come when the Workflows Catalog was introduced in Released.
I hope this is addressed soon.

Thank you for the suggestion. We are interested in usage patterns and will be monitoring the upvotes for this idea.
This is a great idea and something I am also looking for. My use case is I would like to create a workflow to stop or start an application. And call that workflow from within a release. That way if the start or stop of an application changes. that can be mnanaged in a workflow and not changed in several templates that may be calling those same commands
