Best practice for Do While & Condition

Posted on by cy_

Is there a best practice to use 'Do Until' and 'Condition'?

wanted a conditional exit for the 'do until' but it doesn't seemed to evaluate the 'updated' Boolean variables.

Hello @cy_ ,
what's your objective?
If you want to check a variable until it assumes specific value, the "Do until" control should work.

Please let me know.

@MarconettiMarco I wanted to exit the loop once a Boolean variable is set to true, but the do until condition does not reevaluate the variable, I have tried to add another condition within the loop to force a reevaluation of the variable but also to no avail

surprisingly when the condition fails, it returns true and the true case that is dependent to the condition can still continue to run

Hi @cy_,

did you try to set variable booSkip to true in your Do until?
Show how you did that.

thanks all for the messages

following was the screenshot from a previously backed-up flow, the current version already have all the variables and loop removed. this version has 2 Boolean variables, hence you will see the 'or' in the condition. (note: condition 4 is within condition 5, which is added after the 'do until' condition failed)

I have removed the 1 variable (the original post) and 'or' to try to isolate the problem but to no avail. the variable itself is not re-evaluated in the 2nd iteration (action failed), but somehow it returns 'true' is able to proceed with the 'true' case's connectors, even when it failed the additional condition that I include to re-test the condition

what are the best practices in using the 'do until' and 'condition' connectors?
