Where to find documentation on Do Until in Flows

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Tried to set Timeout to 30 days in Do Until and got following error:

        "Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Do_until_-_check_if_prices_set' 'until' limits at line '1' and column

        '43490': 'The string 'PT30D' is not a valid TimeSpan value.'. "

So where do I find documentation on how to use it?

Thanks

    @Anonymous you can see more details at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations

    You've added a T into it which is incorrect because T is for time values like hours, minutes and seconds. Try it with just P30D.

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Note that the do until loops in flows have a max count capped to 5000 iterations only. So if you are adding the P30D to the flow, ensure that you add a relevant delay that the flow 5000 iterations of the do until loop are not exhausted by then. 

     

    Hope this Helps!
