Hello Developers,
I'm building a custom flow for a catalog item.
There are 2 sctask. No.4 & 6.
1st time - When 4 is closed, 6 will be created.
1st time - When 6 is closed skipped, then 4 will be re-opened.
2nd time - Again when 4 is closed, 6 will re-open.
2nd time - Again when 6 is skipped, 4 should re-open, (failed)
This will happen until 6 is closed successfully.
Below flow is executing once but failing at 2nd time. How do i make it recursion?

Hi,
I would advice that you should not solve this with a looping behavior that changes existing closed tasks and reopen them.
Instead, create new catalog tasks if necessary when task on step 6 is skipped.

Hi @Naveen87
Agree with @Ola , Reopening a closed task is a clear violation of the process and makes the flow more complicated. Either don't close the task or create a new task when required.
