Hi,
Is it possible to iterate over a set of steps, until the break condition is met? Though, iterator is available for data table, but can it be done for actions (steps) also. Please let me know, if this is possible in Catalytic.

    Aman,

    Since iterator steps run their child instances in parallel, even if there was an easy way to stop the action after a certain condition was met, it may not work as you expect due to all runs running in parallel. That means that when you reach the end state, other instances will still be running. All instances are started at the same time; they are not executed serially (one after the other).

    As a possible workaround, are you able to pre-filter the table or spreadsheet you are batching over in such a way that only the runs you need are the ones that are started? That way you can let them all run to completion.

    Regards,
    Brandon
