Workflow's formula "streamCount=streamCount+1" runs forever .....

[chrisjiang]

Hi,

I just found out the following problem and it may be a small bug?

When I add an Integer field "streamCount" into Contact entity. And set a workflow to make the "streamCount" +1 when a new stream note is created.

If I set the "streamCount" field "audited", then the workflow will run forever....

Please refer to the attached screenshots.

Hi,

It's your workflow looping. Not a bug. Audited creates new note.

Hello Chris,
It is not a bug. You just made a loop. Here is how this is working:
1. You are making a post -> it triggers the workflow and audited functionality that makes a post on your post
2. New audited post triggers workflow again.
3. Audited functionality makes a new post on its previous post and triggers the workflow again.
And it is repeating again and again and again ...

Thanks so much for the explanation! I intended to count the ‘Posts’ only (excluding the ‘Updates’). Is there a way to achieve that result?

Thanks so much for your quick response and help!

Add a new condition to your workflow (see screenshot):
