Describe the problem you'd like to have solved

The for loop needs access to the inner nodes. In my scenario, I need to stop the loop based on a condition, but I’m unable to do so because I can’t access the response from the inner HTTP request node. I also tried assigning the response to a flow variable, but that didn’t work either.

Describe the ideal solution

For loop needs to have access to inner nodes so that we can break the for loop dynamically based on condition

Alternatives and current workarounds

hi @komatlapalli, did you try break if inside the loop?

Hi @moosebay,

I tried multiple approaches, but the For loop node does not have access to the responses of inner nodes. Because of this limitation, it’s not possible to break the loop dynamically based on a runtime condition. I also attempted to set the condition using environment variables and flow variables, but that didn’t work either, since these variables cannot be set or modified dynamically during execution.

@komatlapalli could you check if this looks ok?

[moosebay]

@komatlapalli let me know if 1.0.1 works for your use case

@moosebay

Great, it’s working fine now. I’m able to access the inner JavaScript node result from within the for loop, and the loop successfully breaks based on the JavaScript node’s output.
Thank you!

@moosebay

Just a quick thought: it would be helpful if the For loop node displayed the schemas of its inner nodes, as this would make it easier to understand and use inner node outputs when configuring loop conditions.

@komatlapalli nice thought, I'll add it in the next reelase

Thank you!

Of course! Thank you for reporting!
