Is it possible to have a stage in a Bamboo plan start even though the previous one has failed?

Question

I have a Bamboo plan configuration with several stages. Now I want to have these stages to execute in certain order, but independently of the result of the previous stage.

This seems to be impossible with Bamboo. Subsequent stages are executed only if the previous one is successful.

Any thoughts?

"Now I want to have these stages to execute in certain order, but independently of the result of the previous stage."

The statement seems self contradicting. If you want the stages to execute in order, that implies some dependency/coupling between them. Yet you want them to execute independently of the result of the previous stage.

The they are truly independent you can configure them as independent jobs as part of one stage. These jobs(which may contain several ordered tasks) will execute independently and in parallel.
