On Error Retries Help

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Marus

When I started using PAD it was still in preview and the amount of retries on error was not changeable, the default was once every 2 seconds.

Now after various updates I can change the retries to my preferred setting.

 

The issue I have is that I have a lot of flows with many steps in, so I have a lot of changes to make if I want to increase the retries.

Is there a straightforward way of doing this, I recall with WinAutomation before it became PAD that there was a general retry option rather than per step.

    Hey @Marus . 

    To my knowledge, its now not available. You will have to go to each step and change the retries. 

    Lets see, if someone else knows about it or not. From my side its not possible.
