Change Task Retries based on a given condition

Presently the setting for number of retries of the task has a default of -1 which makes the task to retry unlimited number of times when an error condition is encountered. 

We are aware that this can be changed to a positive number to indicate n or n1 or n2 number of tries (eg. 1 or 3 or 5 or whatever other number the customer chooses).

We have encountered different scenarios where we would like the task to fail immediately and not perform any tries under certain specific conditions - One of them is when log files are not found. There is no point in making the task to continue to retry when such a condition is encountered. 

We would like to suggest that a feature like this be introduced where the interface could be like:

Stop retries when: A drop down list of conditions (one being Log files not found)

For now this can be a one line drop down but there could be other conditions and the feature to allow multiple selections can also be introduced.

This is becoming a huge show stopper in our organization so please give priority to this feature.

Thank you.
