B list is a shadow list of A list and they share a unique identifier which is Title.

Now , I want to create a flow that when A list have Closed date, both B and list have update the Status into case closed. But due to B list have choice column. Seems the apply to each column leads to a infinite loop. The flow is trigger by when an item is created or modified. A list is new intermediate and B list is claim record.

Hi @Pinoq ,

If you configure When an item is created or modified and Update item in the same Flow and List name configured in these two actions is the same, this error will display.

Please try to check this article and refer to the method to handle this situation:

But I dont really understand why it cannot stop but the if statement, When the Status value is equal to close. Beacuse I have update the column value into close. Than it should not run the second flow.

Hi @Pinoq ,

If you want the flow to be triggered when the Status value is open or null, you could try to set trigger conditions. Please refer to this thread:
