Cancel Single Workflow

Clear and concise description of the problem

Hey everybody!

Massive Woodpecker fans here! We migrated from CircleCI and are all in on Woodpecker!!

One thing that is really handy in Circle is the ability to cancel a single workflow in a pipeline

Especially if a bigger PR has all workflows working except for one - the one we are testing - and we have a max 6 concurrent workflow, 2 per AWS autoscaled instance with a max of 3 AWS instances concurrent

We are kinda sitting here waiting every time for the first 6 workflows to clear so we can get to test workflow #9

Is this a nice idea? Being able to cancel not the entire pipeline but just a single workflow??

Suggested solution

A cancel button on the side of each workflow in the left-hand sidebar that allows you to cancel a single workflow!
