Add option to cancel workflow
Currently there is only delete option to stop the workflow.
Workflows are stalled or stacked as in progress sometimes. We want to assign similar task manually or re-assign the same task to complete the workflow in time.
But it will cause duplicated tasks assigned unexpectedly or file operation (move or copy etc.) is executed twice. This is very confusing.
So we want to cancel the existing workflow before manual workaround.

We are using a workflow for a plan document, and sometimes a plan is cancelled in the middle of the workflow.
The workflow itself cannot be deleted because it is used in other plans, but we would like to terminate the workflow that has been canceled because it would be confusing to leave it in the middle of a workflow.
We know that it is not possible to stop events that move automatically, but for workflow events such as approval tasks that are actually performed by the person in charge, we would like to set a deadline for approval and terminate the workflow if no action is taken within the deadline, or we would like to see the addition of a "Cancel" button in addition to the existing "Approve" and "Reject" buttons, and for the "Cancel" button to be selectable by both the requester and the approver, or some other function to cancel the workflow midway through the process.＜ワークフローをキャンセルする機能の追加依頼＞
計画書のワークフローを使用しており、ワークフローの途中で計画が中止になることがある。
他の計画書でも使用するため、ワークフロー自体は消せないが、計画が中止になったワークフローは途中の状態で残しておいても紛らわしいため終了させたい。
自動で動くイベントについて止めることができないのは承知しているが、実際に担当者が物理的な操作を行う承認タスクなどのワークフローのイベントに関しては承認までの期限を設け期限内に操作がなければワークフローを終了する設定や、既存の「承認」・「拒否」ボタンの他に「キャンセル」ボタンを追加し、「キャンセル」ボタンについては、依頼者、承認者どちらも選択できるようにするなど、ワークフローを途中でキャンセルする機能を追加してほしい
