Hi @Christina_212086 and @Harish_410099.
I believe you'll want to upvote this idea: https://community.pushbot.com/discussion/239/re-evaluate-instruction-fields-after-loops
@Harish_410099: Could you please send me an email and we can review your process to brainstorm how we might approach?: thomas@catalytic.com.
Looking forward to connecting with you.

I created a process with 3 actions in my flowchart shown below.
- Tables: Convert data table to markdown text
- Assign Task to a Person (Field: Reopen? - Yes/No)
- Pushbot: Reopen task and reset dependent tasks
In my process, step 1 reopened and completed as expected. The list of steps (image below) shows that step 1 reopened two times total because it reopened twice.
In your process, it sounds like step 1 reopened, but you did not get the result you expected. Between step 1 and step 3, I assume there are many more steps in your list.
Is it possible that you are modifying your table and thus the table has a different ID or name? This can explain why you received a different second table than expected.
If this is the case, you would remove step 3 and add another step 1 to the bottom of your list. The new step 1 is different because it converts a different table.
Why are tasks being set to “Rejected” when I use Pushbot: Reopen Task and Reset Dependent Tasks?

Hello @Harish_410099 ,
I think I have the same problem. It's not about the created markdown table, it's about the Instruction-field in the action: Send a Webform. The information in the webform-action is not updated after the Action 'Pushbot: Reopen task and reset dependent tasks'.
If you have a webform as a trigger, You can fix this problem by using the same field-names in 'Send a webform' and in the webform trigger.
But with the instruction-field, I have no Idea how this could work. @Jozef_783863 do you have an idea for this?6 -
@Jozef_783863 , Thank you for the flow chart. But in my case , new cell values are added, after each iteration, thus table ID remains the same. My design is similar to the flowchart that you have designed. But still latest markdowns are not captured in the instruction.
