Requesting a 'For Loop' action. This can be accomplished with current actions, however, it requires about 8 steps. Count the number of rows, row count, select first row, (one or two action steps on these rows), add to the counter and loop to next row of the table or array.

    A "For Loop" (example: For each Element_X in Array_Y) in almost any programing language automatically handles the counting of items in the array, establishing an index, incrementing the index, and looping through the array until complete. All the programmer must provide is the instructions for what should happen to each element in the array.
    To accomplish the same using Catalytic, the programmer must provide explicit instructions for the tasks handled natively by a "For Loop". The screenshot included above illustrates all the steps necessary to iterate over a table, one row at a time. Our request is a For Loop action be created, that would natively handle the actions in green, leaving only the instructions (in yellow) to be filled in by the programmer.
