I have a flow and it works fine at first. after a few minutes, the flow keep on running.
im not sure whats the issue here..
@NurNina
It looks like you have an infinite loop. Your Flow will run when an item has changed. At the end of your Flow you update the same item which starts the Flow again.
@ScottShearer
thanks for the feedback. How do I stop the infinite loop?
I haven't got around to writing this up yet but here is how I resolved the infinite loop. Initially I created two fields, one a counter that I was incrementing, and a second for modulation. I would check if MOD(counter, 2) was eq to 0. but it was still running. While watching this run I found the the flow updates the modified by to the owner of the flow. I switched my connections to a service account ( it can stay the owner if the owner does not run the flow) then I check the Modified by not equal to Service account. Runs once, does its magic, and does not run again.
@jaxkookie thanks for the feedback. How do I change the connection to service account?
