There is no automated way to skip a workflow step based on existence or non-existence of an object type in the CR – the example being COBOL program which requires the additional manual compile step. The only way to handle your requirement is to make the step to compile the COBOL program an optional step that would be manually skipped by the developer if the CR does not contain a COBOL program. A simple way to communicate and document this situation is for the developer to note the COBOL compile requirement in the migration note.  It is also possible through the workflow API to write a custom method that interrogates the object list and triggers an email or pop-up message as a reminder if there is a COBOL in the list.  Contact support for more information on setting up the workflow API, if that seems like a useful option.
