[rules-users] Rule Flow: Diverge/Converge Issue with one-to-many paths being exected

[Swindells, Thomas]

Can you split it into two separate diverges?
Diverge to B first and always follow the other path which then does the A & C,
Similarly at the other end wait for A &C and then a second wait to add in the condition for B.
