While Loop

0
Dear Mendix Community, I have an Object containing the Attribute “runs” determining the actual number of runs. If the number runs is 5, then Mendix is supposed to create 5x new Object and create a relation between the current object and the created one.   While using Loop, however I realised that the Loop is only able to iterate over an existing List.   Do you have any resolution for this issue.   Kind regards, Adam

The solution would be to define a variable (lets call it COUNTER) with type Integer that keeps count of the number of iterations (starts with 0).

 

then add a decision split to see if the variable < (less than) runs.

if it is then do what is supposed to be done in the loop and then INCREMENTCOUNTER by one [make sure the increment is done otherwise you’ll be in an infinite loop)

if NOT then you have looped the necessary amount of times and so proceed with your code.
