Add “Wait until field is set” option for workflows

Right now, the Decision widget in workflows only checks conditions instantly when the workflow is triggered. This causes problems if the information the decision is based on hasn't been set yet e.g. when I want to manually input a value for a custom field (like “Proceed to Discovery?” or “Proceed to Agreement?”) before the workflow makes a decision.
Currently, the only workaround is to use a fixed “Wait X days,” but that’s not practical — if it’s a weekend or I’m away, the workflow moves ahead before I’ve had a chance to update the field.
It would be extremely useful to have a “Wait until field is set” option, so workflows can hold until I’ve entered the information. Then the Decision widget could run based on the completed field, not just see the field is blank and immeadiatly follow the 'no' workflow.

or "wait for X to be created" so that you can set it to pause until an agreement has been created.

Another approach would be to have a 'Create Task' widget (which would be useful, anyway), that creates a task for you to prompt you to set that field. Followed by a "Wait for: Task Complete" widget. Then, comes the decision widget.
