Workflow Does Not Exit Loop

ISSUE

When using a Loop Action the loop fails to exit and continue the workflow.

RESOLUTION

Check the condition configured in the loop action.  If the condition in the loop is always true or may always be true, reconfigure the condition so there is a point at which it will return false.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A loop will continue until the condition configured in the loop evaluates to false.  If the condition never evaluates to false the loop will never exit.

 

Example of condition that may always be true:

 

Variable1 does not equal A

 

If Variable1 ends up being set to anything other than A and is not updated in some manner during the loop, the condition will always be true.  So this configuration would cause the loop to continue forever.
